Dirty Scooters - Lambretta Li 150 series 2 restore and 64 GL malossi 221

this blog is a record of my scooter projects. The Dirty Rocket is finished for now, and I am about to begin restoring a '58 Lambretta Li150 series 2. The Dirty rocket started out as an attempt to build my ideal scooter from a rusted bare heap for as little money as possible. (The frame is a '57 VNA) now a 64 GL frame.

so many stories to tell

The picture is me in the victorian alps on the 'Mountain goat scooter Run' - 2006
It was taken from the back of Ifan's '64 Lambretta 150.



so I don't forget...
flywheel vibrations (not crank)
shot Hall Effect Sensor (twice)
New flywheel
1000km weekend (without a breakdown)
... at 3/4 throttle - now repaired.
Second hand genuine PWK carb - dodgy fuel valve seat
currently dialing in ..
weekend- GJK needle-136 main run a bit hot at 1/2 - 3/4 throttle. cooler when the throttle control opened up more (vna handlebar only gives so much throttle movement pre-dremel)

LJK needle - tremendous mid reange throttle. Full a bit gutless (and hot)
132 main

LJKneedle, 140 main dropped needle one clip from centre - still great response at half to 3/4. Main seems ok, but no highway test as yet. 1/4 throttle very boggy.

same as above but richened the clip position to one notch below centre - about to test.

It seems i still can't tell the difference between rich and lean by feel.. one day maybe
