This is why I like to buy parts for a new engine a little at a time, when I can afford to, until I finally have got everything needed. Then I can pretend I didn't spend much, lol. This was a very good mini series that I'll be watching again.
Really enyoyed this series. Bearing in mind you're looking at another £250 for carb and manifold, then maybe £400+ for exhaust it starts to make pre-built engines look (relatively) good value. Can't wait to see it on the dyno. What you predicting- 24hp? Keep it up 👍👍👍
Another good video RS, gives people that think owning, running and maintaining a Lambretta is cheap a reality check, especially when you consider how much the total could have been if everything was new😉
Or alternatively to keep costs down, if you’ve got a small casing scoot, utilise that casing with a new kit of choice to prob give similar performance for less bucks.
I am still very new to this so forgive the daft question: but what have you bought with that £2500-ish engine? Something that can win traffic light grand prix's? A comfortable trip from here near to Crewe to Llangollen say without you wrist wringing it self off? Will we see the engine in a scoot? Um. I didn't think the price was too outlandish. We have all done the 'cheap off E-bay' trick at one time and lived to cry into our Ribena.
Well done Russ, more like 6 hours twatting about lol maybe the bloke with the bus pass could have helped??? Brand TS1 engine Andy francis £3900 but no exhaust carb or rear hub and no twatting about!!! (You have nice hands xx) it's not cheap now days
Kinda pisses me off that people don't understand the time and money that goes into building engines, and the fact that cheap shite can take hours to fix to make usable. Lots want it done cheap at the builder's time and expense! They also don't understand that tools cost money! I only build my own engines now as it isn't worth the hassle! I do however help mates diagnose problems and help them fix any😉
If it's a lambretta it's not going to be cheap. Great series really enjoyed it 🙏🙏
@@richardfowler6229 cheers 🥂
No lambretta engine rebuild is cheap these days so well done 👍🏻
@@exsoulagent cheers 🍻

@@wayneb251 thanks Wayne, hopefully it will also show that buying cheap crap off eBay is not the way to go 👍🍺😂
Glad you highlighted the issue with oil seal and bearing not matching up, I've got a leaky oil seal on my rear hub bearing, wonder that's going to end
@@AlanWhitson best get that changed 👍😜
Just fitted MB big engine mounts , cones , bar stainless steel. Had small ones in for 20 years..lol
@@Zacky12345 cool 😎 let us know how it rides.
@@Shedtune_Russ should have changed them years ago. I now have a nice MB engine mount tool i can now look at for the next 20 years. :)
awesome series!
@@robinhelms781 thank you 🙏
I’ve not built a scooter yet that I haven’t done my cods on … cold hard fact!

@@acooper4482 I suspect that even a small block build will cost a similar amount 👍🍺
@@acooper4482 but funny u should say about the small block builds, Dom has just bought a small block kit 👍
Yeah probably save about 400 quidish depending on what kit if you’ve already got the casing

@@clangerbasher no scooters are comfortable lol, I doubt you will get much change from a dealer out of £4000.
You must be satisfied now you've finished, buying cheap never works out
But cheap, buy twice lol

The final cost of sanity after watching the video make a thousand fucking kerching noises….. really fkn high.
@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse no, just quit the annoying sounds. That all. And vote reform. Of course😁
@@Smarterthanyou-mthrfkr I must admit that I thought it would have been cheaper doing it myself but It is what it is…. 🍺👍
