Lambretta vibrations
Posted: Mon Oct 21, 2013 1:01 am
Wondering; I am trying to isolate why there might be some unwanted vibration in my Lambretta Jet200(motor mounts new, scooter assembled meticulously with all buffers in place, things tight to spec. swapped out seats to see if that would make a difference)
As a winter project I may update my flywheel and maybe even stator (better electronic ignition components etc.) and while I am at that I may remove the crankshaft , even though I replaced seals recently. Your opinions: should I have the original Spanish crank checked to see if it is indeed true or should I just bite the bullet and get a new crank (it's gonna have to be Li as I have all those electronic ignition components already to fit said taper)?...this is to rule out any unwanted vibration due to a possibly wonky crank
OR, Should I just accept the fact that Lambrettas are vibrational bum numbers! (this from someone who has a TV3 that is much smoother that the Jet200 I am talking about and has been a wussy and drove a modern automatic Vespa for the greater part of this last summer)
