Well done Rob! First proper start to finish "how-to" on youtube about fitting the headset. Very cool that you are sharing your experience and totally humble about it. Keep on!
Great stuff bud 👍 👏 thanks for your videos which you so painstakingly put together for the masses to watch and gain valuable information on the lambretta so us lazy bois 😀 can watch and hopefully follow to maintain our trusty steeds and save us from having to read manuals and involved books which are normally in Italian and get translated not too exact and never have the latest items in to help fit and fettle, only thing I could say about this video is when using rotary wire brushes you only used a pair of glasses and i would myself have used a full face covering like a grinding screen or the like, as these rotary brushes lose their wires at a alarming rate ,and especially the cheap ones which you said you were actually using yourself. These wires can fly off from the wheel and stick you in the face etc. Anyhow please keep this up and help us minions stay on the road with safe classic machines 🙏 😀 😉 👍 Wayne.......
Hello Rob, i have a question. On the spindle that connects to the throttle wheel you have a bolt that tightens onto the spline, i dont have a bolt, mine looks like a pin. Are they drifted out to release the wheel or is there another way? I'll need to remove it at sometime because i have a casa front disc kit coming.
The later type have a split pin you will need to drift out. The rods don't have splines on your type either. I think it was a cost thing. The newer they are, the more plastic they used.
Another great vid Rob, apart from the usual hammer, mole grips good socket set, what specialized tools do I need as a new lambretta owner? and what size socket is the engine bolt (nut) pls? Also is there any chance you could do a quick vid on the side panel handles bcas I own a 63 Li the handles are really tight to fasten them after removing the panels I end up on my knees tryna re fit them :) .
Panels are coming in a later vid, as for tools, basic lambretta kit would be spark plug socket, hex key 3.5mm if you are still using original type cable trunnions. Engine prop stand, for changing rear tyre's, gaffer tape and zip ties 😂 if you haven't got Stickies manual, then that's a great book for most info.
Hi I have the GP model which has the plastic throttle & gear change spindle which are brittle and snap, do you think the brass ones will be any better for mine 👍
Really!! A British Bike that leaks oil 😂 my pops owned a few cafe racer bikes back in the day and he swore blind they never leaked once he had stripped the engine down and rebuilt it his way 😆
@@exsoulagent I know! But, on the other hand, I only build motorbikes to show sruck up rockers that a scooterist can beat them at their own game! Same skill set 😉

Not quite finished, part 2 comes out on thursday if I can get the time to edit it! working double today and tomorrow.
This is great! Thank you for taking the time to film and post!
Thanks for the feedback Jason. It's appreciated 😎
Kickback Garage I’m about to try and restore my first Lambretta, so your videos are invaluable to me!
Another great vid, you & steve are definitely showing us different & easier ways of doing things.keep it up lads.
Love it *****
That was really interesting the way it assembled...I'm just used to a motorbike and cables...
When rebuilding I tap every bolt hole and replace bolts....always think better not to have to come back...nice to see you with the tap
Love all the technical stuff

Hi rob thanks for all your videos do you have a clip of fitting the choke cable

#2020lonerider - well done Rob!!
Looks a nice Lathe....
Love my myford!
I wondered if...once shiny..a clear acetate spray...would preserve the surface and shine of the metal parts...
Nice!
Hi Rob do you use the same marine grease for engine bearings
No!

@@kickbackgarage tnx mate, yep i own the manual its great that i can watch vids on here and ask Q,s if i get a bit stuck at times.
Hi I have the GP model which has the plastic throttle & gear change spindle which are brittle and snap, do you think the brass ones will be any better for mine 👍
Yes, always. Plastic was only introduced by innocenti to cut cost.
Just looking on Mb scooter web sit they do a brass throttle and gear change wheel but pricey but hey Ho thanks for the video’s again every help full 👍
Keep em coming Rob good stuff, are you on lockdown over there? We have not but have been told to behave like adults here in Sweden lol.
Yes mate. Lock down but will soon be lifted. I think some schools are going to open after Easter.

Hahaha!
I have decided to sell the beezer... A luna has just turned up for sale (they are hens teeth over here) and I realy miss having one!
Kickback Garage ten a penny over here but prices have sky rocketed when Rimini introduced the CP35 😉

Kickback Garage And you do build some quality bikes 😁
Nice! Loud and clear! :-) what camera are you using mate?
Dji osmo action. Its doing a great job. Much better than the gopro I first used.
Use the back of a spoon to get the dent out..
Are you sleeping with mark broadhurst ? Or putting his kids through UNI 🤣😂
Hahaha!
I've suddenly become a lover of Vaseline to protect parts...just rebuilding a scooter with Vaseline stuck everywhere
