Just about to fit one of those foam air filters to my TS1 at last, have been running without a filter for years, but have decided to give one a try, any idea if and how the jetting might change, its a Delly VHSB 34, running a 170 M/J at the mo.

No its just a straight filter that fits on the air intake of the carb, its just that a mate of mine who builds a lot of engines says he has seen some motors that have run without an air filter worn out after a 1000mls,I just didn`t like a big hole cut in the panel with a lump of sponge sticking out, but he`s got me worried now !

What eden said! Filters on both my TS1's. If you use foam filter oil you may find it more restrictive making your jetting seem rich.

I am interested in a filter for my TS1. Has anyone got any snaps of these? Do you have to clean them / change them often?

Ran the Madspeed Ts with a filter pad bonded to the side-panel
Pad sat against the carb inlet nicely ~ Worked a treat
No Big Hole
Lambretta net (USA ) did sell one similar to the sweet-flow
E-mail them

I've spent over £10 so far in jubilee clips where the git keeps falling off the carb. How can I stop the elbow coming off the carb?

You can drill a hole or two through the jubilee clip and once fitted, put a small self tapper through into the inlet stub, it only needs to press firmly onto the carb.
A bit of trial and error to get the correct size hole for your self tappers may be required. I used to know s**t like that but my heads f@@ked now and its all gone.
