Just spent most of the evening trying to re-fit my barrel/piston/cylinder head to my scooter(scooby-speed) talk about a nightmare! anyroads got it on tonight only got the exhust to rit fit anlong with the carb ,body work so theres a full day gone tomorrow........All in the name of fun

How many cylinders has your engine?

Did you check the valve timing?

Whats this 'exhaust' you mentioned?

Sorry Mike, old habits and all that, I hope you have your wheels going again tommorow.

cheers
Henk

OOps, I missed the mention of bodywork.....

It's a 2 stroke (Lambretta the exhust is an expansion chamber to needs a more fitting than normal valve timming no need, Engines quite a high tuned job puts out 16.3bhp might not sound like a lot but it done 93mph on a rolling road in June not bad for a 1960 shopping trolly that had a top speed of 45 mph,
Need to have it done for before next w/e got a road race sorry sight seening around the country:-)
scooter,

expansion chamber,

I know Dave, I know.. All these wonderful bikes out there and still you insist on pushing a trolly around.. And appologies for calling you Mike in my first reply, I blame it on the beer ( 1 Fullers 1845 and 2 Innis & Gunn and counting. )

Cheers
Henk

Henk,
I dont push it only let me down 3 times and that was when it was 1st built goes like s%$t off a shovel

Davy,
As old rider on these "dinosaurs" in the sixties (Italian Lambretta and Vespa) but it's the fisrst time I see your Lambretta's exhaust, surely that is not a genuine part but if you could boot this disnosaur up to 93 mph, you have to send to Innocenti your proposal to boot their engines!

La machina va vroum vroum sul la strada!

Frank,
Sadly Innocenti went bust in 1972 after British Leyland (rover) bought them out BTW notice a theme here and told them to stop making stuff on 2 wheels my scooter is far from the fastest in the country one beat me just as the rolling road was about to close he got 105mph down on last year from 121 mph he also bagged the prize money as well rolling roads are good but are normally totally windf resistant ect due to their enclosed nature so the final speed doesnt really translate to what it does on the road.
Have oyu got any old pics of you on your scooters? I'd like to see them

Davy,

Unfortunately, my last Lambretta sold in 1969 and I don't have any picture of these old days, but your thread makes me remember these engines (at that time I had many success to flirt many girls with these scooters).

Thank you for showing the picture.
