I need Reed Valve casings. Do Piaggio parts not come from India nowadays? Or is that just the frames ect. Ive got my eye on a couple of engines, but I would prefer the reed valve as I have all the parts and spent a fortune on the manifold and reeds.

Aren't all the reed valve casings LML therefore by definition Indian?

That's what I thought as well, LML is an Indian company so I assumed all parts were made in India as are a lot of Vespa PX parts. I know the chassis are, might be wrong on the engine casings. I can't see though. Any way source a set in the UK for £150, hopefully I may get them cheaper.

This is a picture of the manifold set up. I will post an exploded picture of the parts to make sure I am fitting them properly. Now that this has happened I may insert a fuel banjo now as I think I need a fuel pump with this carburettor.

This is the order I had the manifold and reeds. Is this correct.
