Chris your wrong, I had problems with a Mugello kit recently and tried to speak to a mechanic at Camb Lamb about it and found him to be shockingly clueless, I knew CE was involved in the design of the more recent Mugello kits so contacted him and found him to be very helpful and of course on the ball :)

well when i raced albe it 20 odd yrs age we al used to use p2 cylinder studs in my team and that was in gp 4 it seems odd that alloy barrels can be used but different lenght studs not maybe some one there needs to get a reality check and allow others to use there train set !

alot of people went out and got rb kits when they first came out with hardly any testing, and alot f@@ked up yet people seem wary of this kit and what its supposed to do
if i had a lammy i would just go and buy one and see if it does what it says on the tin, looks like a nice bit of kit and £2000 - £3000 for a well sorted motor at that spec isnt alot really is it ? f@@k me my smallie cutch cost £350 and along with all the other bits comes in at near that
if the little transfer/ex port bridge coped with 6 hours of constant thrashing its hardly problematic,
how many ts1s have you all f@@ked up with s**t set ups using different pipes , carbs etc ?
i like the idea of the one stop shop, no f@@king about and you dont have to be a rocket scientist to fit it, its as straight forward as building any motor properly, which if yr not doing anyway then you might as well not bother

I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THIS MOTOR GOT UP TO A DECENT TEMERATURE AND STAYED THERe whoops sorry for shouting there wasnt many complete heat cycles taking place if that were the case so prob not so much stress ive worked oh hot work duplex tool steels and they can withstand 100.00 psi on extrusion were we used glass powder as a lubricant the containers were always kept hot as if the cooled/heated on a cycle the chance of inter granular corrosion was higher leading to a crack ok not really anything to do with this kit but alloy expansion and contraction has an effect on grain structure which can lead to cracks

I guess it comes as no surprise to anyone that i agree with most of what Johnny says.
I just wanted to add that i dont think there are any outrageous claims being made like some may suggest. We all know that anything mechanical can break but some mechanical items are more reliable than others.......for example a standard vespa compared to a Lammy.
Sorry guys, i love lammys but its true!
I'm going to leave it now for the dyno, people who run one and buyers to decide how good it is and i guess thats how it should be!

shout all you like shocky i cant hear you, but you cant say thats a problem cos you aint broke one, im sure it would have been tested on the road for a while and have had plenty of heat cycles, as no f@@ker in there right mind would stick an untried kit and parts on a lambretta and go and race it to show how good and reliable it is, and then sell it to stupid c*nt5 like us, who will then slag it off to f@@k when it breaks
what would the point of that be ?
there is some right s**t out the box kits out there for both lammy and vespa and this i reckon is the way forward, 30hp and 20lbs torque out the box, yes f@@king please ill have some of that

i,m a bit suprised that no one has mentioned or picked up on the flange modification as regards this kit ...
I just wondered if anyone on here has tried or done that before cos i havnt., I presume it means doing away with the inner seal and just letting the petroil mixture lube the flywheel side bearings just like on older li,s..
apart from slightly less losses due to friction /drag , whats the gains/benefits if any ?

At a guess , just the same as the vespa lube method ? Rather then having to rely on packing with grease as the norm , this would give the bearing a more thorough bathing in a lubricant, ie the 2 stroke oil?
