Autolube

[Hammerite]

I,ve just realised the that the PX engine I,ve bought in bits and about to rebuild is an autolube one. The hole in the casing to the carb has been filled with mastic. Whats the best way to do this properly as I dont want the autolube .Wouldn,t have thought a big dollop of mastic is good enough in the long run. Can I remove the small gear wheel thats the drive for the autolube from behind the clutch
Cheers

You need to keep the gear (or fit spacer from non autolube) as it 'shims' the clutch to engage with the primary.
I thread the hole in the casing and seal with grub screw.

I love autolube and just wish someone would do a quality conversion for the lambretta

You can buy a plug for the axle and it comes with a needle bearing for the small hole, costs about £6.
