you sure you spelt your username right?
You understood it! The text not the 'name' that is!

OK?

You've skipped a good few accents on the way in the 'ffcb timeline' but i will kick off with the best " Yer kick a baw agen a waw anyer 'ed it till ya bost it" Guess?
Isn't this post going slightly off topic? And where does the fish come in?

Did I?
I must be 'soused' (in the smelly herring sense) then.

It's not that easy to buy a bad small block kit these days, Mugello, GT, RT, Imola, RB, Casa ... they are all good kits with loads of avid followers, ....... along with the right combination of carb, exhaust and gearing to suit your needs you can't fail, though you can fail to do the latter and then it doesn't do what you want it to do. There's everything from a Casa with 20mm carb and clubman at 10 bhp up to an RB 20 with TMX 35 and Franspeed race at 25 bhp. Choose wisely to suit your needs.

Lambrettas can be an expensive hobby Simon, but you're in safe hands with chalkie and cheerio(spelt wrong).
My mate has a mugello that was set up on replays dyno and it was showing just shy of 21bhp so you won't be disappointed.

ouch, but at least it will have more than 7bhp when you get it back.
Im surprised that you did all the tarty bits with seat and dampers etc, but left knackered engine mounts in place? Ive chucked the money at the engine, paint and shiney bits have to wait
money soon dissapears, not a lot left in my cases that hasnt been replaced, I dont a couple of quid short of £1000 building it, and its nothing fancy.
I still got van hire and dyno etc to sort and find the money for once its run in.
was there any news on what was knackered, was it like it when you bought it, or did it "die" while you had it.
