Re: key type for 64 LiS150
Hi Johnny. The ignition key in my 65 Special is unfortunately, not an original, and I have no steering lock key at the moment! However, there is information in Stickys book, page 257, which gives original manufacturers for model/part number, with key numbers 'from, to'. Don't know if you have the bo...

Re: Where did 47 years go?

Going to/have , replaced some bits and pieces that were/are past saving, and treated any rust. Might in due course tidy some of the worst areas up, eg the footboards w...

Re: Engine Nip!
Evening all, Running in my LIS150, after new piston and rings. Done around 60 miles, so far, nice and steady with no problems. Been out tonight and tackled a few longish hills which I guess put a little too much strain on the engine as it nipped up! I pulled in clutch, coasted for a 100 yards or so...

Re: Engine Nip!
No problems just keep checking plug colour and check carb jetting is richer for running in
I am running with a standard 18mm delly with recommended jets ie. 101 main jet. Should I increase to say, 105, for running in, or will adjusting the air mixture screw outwards to run richer suffice?
