If you look here you'll find all the stuff you need to use a pick up on a SIP speedo. :D

There was a feature on these speedos in Scootering a couple of months ago with a picture of the sensor fitted to a Lambretta.

Re: Should I strip the top end after a heat seizure?

The head was torqued down correctly when initially assembled. and there was no indication of any leaks from the head. I don't hold anyone responsible but myself, after all it's a tuned 42 year old scooter and I'd been riding it two up flat out! To see details of the dyno see below http://scooteroti...

Re: Should I strip the top end after a heat seizure?

No obvious leaks found, top end stripped, piston checked and cleaned up and barrel lightly honed. All rebuilt and upjetted from 100 to 103 main and from a 55 to 58 pilot and it seems to be running fine. Now does it need a full run in or would a couple of hundred miles suffice?

Prior to this, and after a complete engine rebuild it had just clocked up 1000 trouble free miles. The scooter was nicely warmed up and I'd just given it its 1st flat out run ...
