Scooterotica

Decided I feel the need to do a full resto.....it's an itch I can't scratch.
Bought a S2 to get stuck into. Photos to follow.

Loads of questions already. Can't get it running at the moment as its revving its tits off. (Checked head for leaks etc and can't find anything) only seems to run with the choke on and like I said its running very fast. Crank oil seal I think will be my next port of call.

Don't want to spend to much getting it running as I intend to 185, 12v, 42 big bore bigger carb like my SX as I'm more than happy with the way that runs.

Will a GP air scoop fit and is it really needed?
How difficult is the crank oil seal to change?

I really want to get it running, motd, and registered before I start the rebuild as I here my local DVLA office could be closing.

Do I need a different AF clubman to fit a S2 or are they all the same?
Also are all the toolbox doors the same fit as I need one of those as its got a late API one fitted.

Hopefully got my sums right price wise.

£500 is for the engine 12v etc, about the same for all the bits and bobs and then paint.

Not going for a custom or a speed machine, just a nicely finished reliable scooter.

scoop will fit ,clubman will fit ,series 1/2 doors have a raised lock area if that helps

difficulty of seal will depend and your tools or ability

Cheers for the help. Will keep an eye out for the tool box lid.
What special tools do I need for the seal? Got lots of tools but only a hub puller specific for a Bretta at the moment.

Flywheel puller, flywheel holder, conrod holder, crank pulling sleeve, crank removal tool, clutch holder, clutch compressor all spring to mind. Number one tool is Sticky's book though.

You might want to check if a gp scoop will fit if single seats are used

Hi mate
Did you get that other lammy in the end ?
See you volksworld if your going I'm taking the Ghia up on sunday.
Cheers Steve

No Volksworld for me fella, not really my cup of tea. Fighting around all the push chairs and waiting behind large groups of people who are sucking up to certain self appointed VW superstars..................nightmare.

Getting the Li ready for MOT tomorrow.

I have a former virgin in need of restoration, can you help?

Is it a bottom up resto?
