Here we unbox an Indian made LI150 gearbox from Beedspeed. Having decided to replace a slightly worn LI150 pacemaker gearbox, I set about trying to find an Indian LI150 gearbox with a slightly longer top gear. I decided to buy the LI150 gears from Beedspeed. It turned out that was a bad choice because the gearbox was unusable. A mismatch of parts, and a poorly stored gearbox cluster which was f...

This original 1960 cylinder head and cylinder barrel have been mishandled in the past. Here we look at the damage from mishandling and poor workmanship during previous rebuilds. Even though the combustion chamber has been damaged, it has still been rebuilt. Welcome to Scootoloco Workshop. After buying a Lambretta LI150 and driving just a few kilometers, it was deemed necessary to strip the engi...

Here the crankshaft balance factor is calculated for a single cylinder crankshaft. The balance factor is what determines the vibrations on your bike. The example here is for a Lambretta, but will work for any single cylinder 2 stroke engine. At the end of the video we compare the balance factor of an old crankshaft to it's replacement.

Here we make a crankshaft balancing stand for a single cylinder crankshaft using materials which are lying around the workshop. After buying a Lambretta LI150 and driving just a few kilometers, it was deemed necessary to strip the engine to see what was up with it. This led to a journey full of surprises.

Here we compare the new aluminium Scootopia 185cc cylinder kit for Lambretta with the original iron Innocenti LI150 cylinder and head. This is the great 185cc conversion kit for Lambretta 125-150-175 (small block engines with 107mm con rod) by Scootopia. This is an economical, complete plug 'n' play alluminium cylinder kit designed to increase both the power and torque of your motor, but withou...

Here is a video unboxing the new SIP Premium crankshaft. After buying a Lambretta LI150 and driving just a few kilometres, the motor was stripped due to various issues. The old crankshaft was fit for scrap.

This is a Lambretta crankshaft which has been recently replaced. The crank has been welded several times. It's surprising that it even held together. The woodruff key ripped out at some point in the past and the slot has been welded. The shaft has been broken and welded back on. There is pitting on the shaft which has been welded. The big end doesn't turn freely. The small end has been machined...
