I have the basics of a TS1 240... but want a good grunter, so what porting should I do?

Is it cos I am black?

No.....its becuase your question was so vague.

C'mon......give us a bit more to work with.....crank, pipe, carb, piston, gearbox etc etc......then we can discuss porting.

nowt to do we being black or any other colour or whether you work down pit lad,there are lots of events on and the sun is shining brightly,its also weekend here in the uk!
give us some more details and we can make a more detailed picture of things,

I'd say it was down to the subject title, but you're right, being Black doesn't help, innit.

you"d take his money though wouldnt you ...... cos you is a dealer,... innit........

I have to play with.... 60mm race crank, 120 jap rod, 18mm small end with welded pin, TS1 225 barrel in need of reline so can fettle, 200 casing ready to be matched to barrel, will buy some tassinaris reeds, TMX35, waiting on a 1mm over size (71mm) KDX250 piston (its the 80-84 one, correct?), NK/Giannelli snail, Li150/Jet200/GP200 box, waiting 4 the complete clutch/rear sprocket kit from MDB and will order both 46 and 47 tooth and want to order a few front sprockets cos I believe every engine is different and basically cos I want to play, as my 'ol ma used to say, better learnt than taught :biggrin:

Now port heights should not be a problem due to needing a packing plate, should I enlarge the transfers, widen exhaust, widen and raise inlet, add one of them extra ports thru the base of the barrel, remove all the material in spigot mouth, get the resident crank profiler to re shape the crank, recess the head to barrel????????

The fella who posted on LCGB had a similar set up and was pulling a huge torque figure (altho using a JL4.. so may buy one of them or the uprated CamLam one) and I would like to replicate this as I want to clock up alot of miles before I fade in to the sunset.

Back to you fellas and the tuning gurus that peruse these boards.

i would have gone for the 62mm crank,but if you have the 60mm ,i would enlarge the transfers and blend to the case,you can widen the exhaust but do a dummy build and check the ring peg positions,add one of them extra ports through the base of the barrel,
good idea about trying different gears and sprockets ,yes all engines are different,i would go for a jl4 system too.
be aware once you have removed meat from the cylinder you cant replace it easy,
so there you go i'll still talk to you even though you are black!

wise words joe. i would go for the JL3 for bottom end grunt ....... a black man needs his lambretta fettling just as much as a white man. man. just seems some people just dont get it. still.

Ar, thanks guys. (not really a coloured chap tho :biggrin: )
