Scooterotica

Hi all

I need a fast flow fuel tap for a rapido 250 with a large dellorto what dealers would you recommend


Many thanks

Either Scootopia fast flow tap or genuine OMG from a reputable dealer such as MRB.

Usually get mine from Cam-Lam or Andy Francis

The scootopia one is highflow even on reserve others are not , and its a popular misconception that always running on reserve opens both holes at the same time it doesn't
unless you modify the disc inside with a 1/4 arc groove that joines both apatures when in the reserve position
the scootopia ones outlet is also further back from the engine mount than the omg

I haven't used a Scootopia one yet but the design is superior to others in that the part that twists is metal and not plastic and it definitely sits at least one mm higher giving more clearance around the silent block.

I've got a Scootopia fuel tap on my scooter, and, well there's not a lot you can say about it really. It does exactly what it says on the tin. The only thing that nearly caught me out though is reserve. It runs longer on a tank and so you've got less left to get you to the nearest garage. What I didn't realise is that it's how they were, and it's the modern fast flows that are different. When they go on reserve you know you need to put 5 ltrs in, so it's quite a shock to find a tank that is largely empty. On the plus side I like the way they are so positive and the tap clicks into position rather than vaguely turrning it to 45 degrees.

By the sound of it the Scootopia one is more like the original Lambretta one, all the controls the reserve/ main tank levels is the length of the plastic tube inside the filter part

Well, sort of I think. But it's probably a better design, fast flow and won't starve your motor of fuel on reserve. For what they cost I don't think you can go wrong really.
