Hi friends,
I've owned this Lambretta for over 20 years. Almost sold it a few weeks ago. When the buyer showed up to pick it up, we couldn't get it to idle properly. I knew it was the carburetor since it's been just sitting in the garage. Buyer agreed to come back the next day when i get it going. Next day, i got it running top notch but buyer backed out of the deal. After cruising around for a while, i fell in love with it again! Decided to keep it and make a 100% reversible conversion.
I've been reading up on some amazing Vespa conversion over at https://modernvespa.com. The guys there really helped motivate my build. I am planning to share my build here and will be asking a lot of questions. Hoping to build it properly since i'm planning to keep my scooter for another 20 years. I can't believe i tried to sell it.
The motor has about 50 miles on freshly rebuilt motor about 15 years ago.
Took it for a last spin before disassembly.
