Last year I rebuild my Li150 special engine myself, using good seals, bearings, black mec gp crank, 12v electronic ignition etc. I fitted a cheapo ali 185 kit, 24mm pwk carb and big bore (now sterling) exhaust. it runs fine, better power than the 150, but I'd now like to fit a better kit, with more power but what are my options? Casa 186, Gt 186, mugello 185, etc. Recomendations & advice appreciated.

if they are still available the gt kit is a joy to ride and your jetting ect is in the instructions. the muggy 186 does not hang about either but is a bit revier. i would not bother with the casa.
you could have what you have tuned also....but i like out of the box power so if it goes wrong then another can be dhl d to you and fitted next mornng

There's a new GT kit on eBay at the minute.
There isn't a (credible) bad word for them.

With the gt kit having a read block, will it work ok with my 24mm pwk carb? I'd also like to keep my scootrs expansion on.

When I rebuilt the Li engine I went for the Casa kit. To be fair to it round town and very twisty roads its great but I've upgraded to an ancillotti exhaust and 26mm dellorto with standard 125 box and 16T front sprocket and it'll cruise at late 50s but wringing it with a very long open road I reckon it'll be hitting low 60s...4th gear is like an overdrive. If thats what you want then it'll be fine but TBH the Casa kit is coming off soon to make way for a Muggy or Imola kit.

Not a great deal of info on the gori kit. Any uk dealers stock it?

why not port the casa kit,its a very good kit but designed with the wrong port specs for your new requirements
