Re: Smiths Speedo Recalibration
Don't give up! I used 120mph one it was a fair bit out. I swapped to a 90mph one and it's about right on my S2, certainly no worse than a lambretta speedo and much better to watch! Demonstrating that they must be the same speedo with a different face. These remade ones are basic inside and not like...

Re: BLOA dead?
Wow just read this whole thread (yes I'm having a quiet day). Scootering sure seems complicated in the UK these days. So much has changed since I left. Things are a bit simpler down here in Australia (at least for Lambretta owners anyway). The LCOA has a bank of tooling, engine stands and helpful fo...

Re: Smiths Speedo Recalibration
I'm not making much progress on this one as I'm still mulling it over. I noticed the repro I have has got some dirt or a mark on the inside of the glass and it's really bugging me and it really shows up against the white face. I don't want to start dismantling. SIP are advertising a Smiths repro but...

Re: Cutdown views
Feeling pretty pleased today. Managed to get a S2 toolbox in good nick, dent free complete with rubber. Sourced here in Australia (albeit in the Eastern States). Also managed to pick up a decent fuel tank, cleaned and dent free. The vision is starting to come together now and I'm keeping a good numb...

Re: Auto Lube System
Wondering if any of the Vursper setups could be adapted or copied somehow. I think the PX models had auto lube systems.

Auto Lube System
I was reflecting on some of the incredible performance developments currently available. The choice of kits, cylinder types, carb set ups, ignition kits, etc. is amazing. But I also got to think about some of the other 'agricultural' and time bound aspects of Lambrettas. None more glaring in my mind...

Re: GT186 30mm Dell' Orto carb question
Just a thought (and I'm not familiar with the kit so it might seem dumb), but can't you use a different manifold which drops the carb down to a lower (normal) angle?

Re: GT186 30mm Dell' Orto carb question
I also don't quite get why some of the kits which retain the left hand set up, don't fit. The suggestion by W /Tornado to use a PWK is a good one. I've had this set up on a previous Jet 200 and it was awesome. My current, old school set up is with a 30mm Delly and is a s close to what I had in 1974 ...

Re: GT186 30mm Dell' Orto carb question
these Lambretta scooters are weird sometimes, aren't they? :lol: They sure can be, but the original design was always tight on tolerances and shifting the carb from one side to the other is always a bit of a stretch. I'm a bit old school as I've said many times and I've always struggled with the re...
