GS150 rebuild complete!!!
Posted: Mon Jul 02, 2012 8:15 pm
Always liked the look of 50`s Vespas and a few years ago i brought this
Now i was thinking of going down this route with it...
but the motor is so smooth and has such a cool feel that is different to any scooter ive ridden so the origiginal motor stays but although not the quickest thing in the scootering world,it revs out really well but could still do with some more grunt. It came apart anyway.
A stub manifold was made to allow a PX carb but in the end i thought it looked clumsy and am restricted on room so will just get it back up n running and maybe convert this to take a Tillotson carb.
Swinging arm is seperate on this and it cleaned up well.
Think ive got all it covered here.
Front hub carefully rebuilt.
Jerome at Readspeed knocked this up for it to get rid of the breakgfast bowl it had from original.
Ive had 4 pole Lambretta light before and i thought they were bad untill i rode this home from our club meeting one night,i needed an escort home
so invested in this bit of kit
Ive seen enough of these things in silver n bling so that was out of the question..
Just need to save up for some tyres now to go on these
Got holiday planned so this on hold.My chick says i should just get it done so as offered to pay for the rest of what i need 
....
"oh dear love,this RS240 kit doesnt fit,i`ll stick it on my GP instead"
More pics posted soon when i get the more done.
