It was the transfers in the casing I was referring too, I don't know about the kit you are using but the transfers required a lot of 'matching' for the LML 5 port cylinder fitted to my LML reed casing and there is precious little metal to play withrosscla wrote:....@coaster. - it's a proper reed block case, we didn't open that any more, the hole’s big enough already...

@ goldeneye. - I'm sure It did but am gongt to strip it all off and check again anyway, one of the scenes that held the block down had to be retapped a bit, I'm wondering if it worked loose now... i'll try the wd 40 check first though, cheers. Won't be back at it till the end of the week now as it's in my brothers garage 70 miles away...
Ah ok, then no, I think there's still enough, just matched to gasket', cheers.coaster wrote:It was the transfers in the casing I was referring too, I don't know about the kit you are using but the transfers required a lot of 'matching' for the LML 5 port cylinder fitted to my LML reed casing and there is precious little metal to play withrosscla wrote:....@coaster. - it's a proper reed block case, we didn't open that any more, the hole’s big enough already...
It was in issue 322. Difficult to make it work with a stock carb but it'll work fine if you bolt on a manifold for a 30mm carb etc.rosscla wrote:Which issue was that again? I think I remember reading it and I can see how that works on a Lambretta with a manifold and a stub (if you mean the bike tube one) but how'd you make it work on a PX motor?
Or you could make a blanking plate to bolt down over the inlet port in the casing and then seal the other end of the inner tube. The original poster did that on his Lambretta I seem to remember but it got refined along the way.Speed Demon wrote:It was in issue 322.
