I've kicked it, and better kicked it. Checked for a healthy spark it won't fire at all.

Errrrr . . . . I put some fuel in it and it's started 2nd kick. There was a little bit of fuel in it when I put it away for the winter . . . . . must have evaporated.
Oh the embarrassment!

Oh God……..yeah I've done that on a Euro run……….. Just couldn't figure out why it
wouldn't start… even with the reserve on …….then opened the fuel cap and not a
drop in the tank……..I'd run it dry the night before after the dinner and in a haze
totally forgot……….Oh the ribbing I got

Are you sure it's a Lambretta? Must be a while since you've seen one.
