Re: Discounted Diablo Long Range Lambretta Tanks

Hi Brian,
I've replied to you via email.
In answer to the previous question it is essential that the tank is completely isolated from the frame using tank rubbers.

Re: stopping power for a Lambretta isnt limited to hydraulic

That pics really funny! Have to say agree a well set up and maintained drum brake is very effective. After riding a rather nice patina series 2 a little while ago it convinced me to use a series 2 TV hub and links in my Spanish project. Remains to be seen whether the scoot will ever see tarmac in my...

Re: MPG from a malossi 210 engine?

Alex why go Malossi. A Polini is much better suited to that set up.
I've just done Phils with a 60mm crank std carb and JL r/h and it makes 19.8hp and 17ft/lb torque.

Re: Misfire at high revs

Yes wise words.
Check the simple stuff first. Work from the plug backwards. Don't forget to isolate the headset ignition by taking the green wire from the loom out of the CDi.

Re: FAG NU2205E - but made in India!!

A mate of mine has electronics manufactured in China. His biggest problem is that they agree a spec and then as soon as he's safely back in the UK, they change all of the components for cheaper ones. The first he knows of it is when customers start complaining that their equipment has conked out. I...

Re: FAG NU2205E - but made in India!!
