Re: Motoplat/Serveta electronic spares.

Re: Corrado. - Just Lambretta

I have on occasion ordered from Martin and have been very happy with the service,price and quality of parts However he has always posted any ordered items to me and not delivered them personally. I think the offer of a chill out in me sauna with a bottle of wine put him off somewhat :lol:

Re: Motoplat/Serveta electronic spares.

Thanks all again, it will be interesting to see what can be machined away and see if the boss could be successfully fitted. If so then a really great ignition system awaits I'm sure. :D Any news on the x ray yet, or is it too soon. Really want to see if I can get one converted and working properly,...

Re: What 2 stroke?

Tell me about it. It's more confusing than the omnibus of Emmerstreetenders,ffs! Even heard off a motor cross rider that some oils are designed for water cooled and not air cooled bikes, so aren't upto the job on an air colled bike. That's another new one on me, but hey ho, so little wonder we have ...

Re: What 2 stroke?

All the big four oil companies now have several ''Scooter Oils'', which is just rediculous. I think the Comp 2 they spoke of is the old pre mix one, before they abolished it and just kept ...
