Re: Stupid Jokes

A group of pensioners were sitting around talking about all their ailments at the local pub. "My arms have got so weak I can hardly lift this drink" said one. "Yes, I know" said another. "My cataracts are so bad I can't even see mine." "I couldn't even mark an &quo...

Re: What & Why

^ The trick bit will be figuring out which one? I'm hooked already.

Re: VHSH... what is it?!

Adam,

Does it have a rubber piece in the end opposite the spring? If so it is the choke for sure.

Wot he said.

:idea: The key is the spring. Throttle return is bigger and the springs on the adjustment needles are smaller. So that only leaves one out of four left.

Re: How to clean up low revs???

Cleaned carb and found 55 pilot so I have swapped it for a 53, initial run seems ok, think my air screw needs resetting now though as I have been farting about with it :roll: Just curious and sorry if this is a dumb question but are you setting up your air screw in conjunction with the idle speed s...

Re: How to clean up low revs???

Changed my 30mm PHBH for a PWK copy and found it was smoother and more responsive from low throttle openings. I think it's supposed to be one of the benefits of a flat-slide or D-slide type carb. This I find interesting as I think PWK carbs are plentiful here as they are on Honda and Yamaha two-str...

Re: What is a Lambretta S900

So it doesn't indicate whether it is 150 or 200? Not a problem I will go and have a look at a few and see what I can deduce. It seems real Italian models are very expensive here so for a rebuild hack maybe a more common Indian DL/GP is a better bet for me anyway. Resprays are cheap ish at 160-260 qu...

What is a Lambretta S900

I have found a few here. S900 keeps coming up. Also Super Vijai so it is obviously a SIL GP either 150 or 200. I even found a picture of a snake like "S" on the engine casing followed by 900 but I still can't discover exactly what they are. http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s170/mikerust/...
