hi guys.... even though my Lambretta '62 Li is not yet fully finished/run-in I'm already looking forward to building another :D ... I have an '63 Li150 crankcase in near perfect condition that's already been bead-blasted, my question(s) is this what's best for the clutch and kickstart? The kickstart cover is a GP one, so I was wondering whether to use as a GP kick start with the ramp already attached to the end plate or use an Li one with the ramp on the case (which will need drilling for the ramp etc) and in the regards to the clutch, to use a GP one with the bronze/brass plunger in the case or use the Li thimble and associated parts?

Responses and suggestions please

personally I'd go for the earlier "LI" set up.

The GP setup transfers presure from the kick start mechanism direct to the gearbox end plate when at rest- The LI type transfers it to the crank cover.

Also, you can't adjust the GP type apart from moving the actual K/S round on its splines
