Stuck on engine decisions
Posted: Wed Sep 13, 2017 4:20 pm
Right I'm currently dry building my series 3 Li project and it's coming to the time of deciding which route to go down engine wise.
Now the scooter is an early Spanish Li150 (1965) and a 150 clearly isn't going to cut it.
Now I'm looking for a bit of a screamer in regards to engine build, purely because I have my 300 gts for touring etc etc.
Now I've been looking at a few kits, spoke to a few dealers etc but thought I'd come here for a good bit of information hopefully.
So the 2 kits I've been looking at are the GT186 and the imola 186, read good things about both.
Now I'm looking at replacing the crank too, cam lam recommended the premium 58/107 off themselves to go with the imola.
Carb options I think I'm looking towards a PHBH30 and then the JL3 exhaust
Then electronic ignition and a decent engine bearing and seal set etc
What do you guys reckon, what experiences have you had and where is the best to go for the bits.
Bare with me this is my first lammy build, I've come from a race car back ground and work in aerospace so I have a good understanding though, cheers
