Lambretta Carb Set-ups.....

[drunkmunkey6969]

Hi All,

Basically, the idea behind this thread, is that we invite all forum members to post the settings they are currently using on thier scooters, in order to develop a database of information, that can be used by all visitors as a resource for learning and setting up thier own machines.

Please get involved and supply as much info as you can, you never know, you may need to use the resource yourself one day!!

NOTE: Please don't ask technical questions or start discusions about carb settings within this particular thread, please start a NEW thread if you need to have a discusion. This particular thread is for settings information only.

So just add a reply below with your carb set-up and watch the list grow!

PS - IF YOU DON'T SEE WHAT YOU WANT ON THIS PAGE, TRY THIS LINK, VERY INFORMATIVE: http://www.smellofdeath.com/lloydy/carb.htm

If you still can't find what you need, then open a new thread and ask for suggested settings, when the answers come in i'll add them to this list.

Petrol feed to float bowl opened up - std carb body is D shaped - drill it out to prevent fuel starvation. Solder up the oil feed pipe too - don't just rely on the rubber cap these fall off and you'll end up running lean.

350 float needle, mod done to fuel inlet

This set up pulls like a train, 82 on my Garmin GPS in a series 1 frame and I'm 15 stone. Been built for over 2 years and done several thousands of miles, been to Euro Lambretta Germany + many other euro rallies and UK events without missing a beat (Now guaranteed to blow up next time I take her out! )

pretty standard one here but it works well and may be of interest to those who like to keep things simple

innocenti LI150 barrel rebored with 175 conversion piston
casa replica standard pipe
opened out air scoop

22mm jetex - jetted as per 200 with a 125 main jet

RScoot exhaust
Main Jet 102
Idle Jet 50
Slide 40
Needle D26 clip 2nd from top

After a bit of fettling and advise from MB seems to be spot on now 2nd kick choke for 2 mins then purrs good throttle response and quick off the mark running slightly rich as running new engine in, have to see if changes needed after more miles on the clock.
