Lambretta Handling issues

[corrado]

It's an easy mistake to fit the bottom steering bearing upside down. [So I'm told ]

Any pointers here? .... http://scooterotica.org/forum/viewtopic ... 32&t=23597

No but cheers, everything is fine on the front I think and I don't really see the cheap ebay s**t internals causing the speed wobble minus the speed .Anyway the story so far before I address the handling issues again is the engines out again with the top end stripped because after replacing the head and base gasket I noticed a dome in the top of the piston that my lammy clued up friend told me it was not meant to be there. I have a serviceable 70mm piston to get squeezed into my sil barrel so will probably have plenty run in time to get things sorted out. You've got to love a Lammy. This labour of love/hate is learning me new things every day I touch it

Certainly does with this one along with f@@k sake that's f@@ked as well and f@@king more money are phrases I have used a lot since buying the bike.

Check your timing and double check (pressure test) for air leaks when re-assembling. Be a bugger if it happened again once you're back on the road.....

Aye will do. Dropped the barrel into the machine shop today to get the ball rolling.

Got a timing disc and checked the timing while I wait for my barrel to be done and its at 9 degrees BTDC so ten missing. New engine mounts in today as well.Onwards and upwards

Got the bored out barrel back today with an .004 clearance as learned from here and other places. Cleaned everything up oiled everything up on rebuild then took it a run. Locked the back wheel after about one f@@king mile but kicked over and run straight after and rode it hame. Its running rich to be on the safe side but not safe enough it seems. I am wondering if I have done something to upset the Indian Lambretta God. Maybe if I stop using the f@@k or f@@ked words the good things I do for the bike will be rewarded with good running and handling
