Lambretta 183 typhoon

Thought i'd post some pics of my scoot ..This has been an arse of a project as i have had to settle for a single 183 bearing in mind this was originally a Twin(two tyhoon aircooled barrels bolted together) of which i had running (clip on tube) but then after spending lots of money and time on the building of the crank it failed on the dyno !! regretably and not wanting to chuck any more money and time at it i decided to put it back to a single...




Here are some pics of it as a twin :cry:

 

looks very nice, those dials are sweet and the chrome suits it as well very nice indeed

 

bike looks sick. does it ever get taken to shows or anythin?

 

WOW!!! love it man, love it

 

yum

 

No m8.. It hasn'y really been on the road as when it was a twin it failed on the dyno before i even got it mot'd and as it is now being a single i have only just finished it and there are still a few things i need to sort before putting it on the road..
I got some vibe issues and i'm thinking of fitting the standard air box(with a few alterations) as the open filter noise annoys me!!, have replaced the 2nd cylinder head temperature gauge with a digital rev counter but can't seem to get it working at mo :banghead: also got some rough jetting/ carb setting to do before having it dynoed(just to be on the safe side)

 

Nice scooter m8,tel me a little more about the twin engine it sounds interesting :yahoo:
I got a lambretta auto but does'nt seem to suffer any vibrations at all,what engine mounting set have you got? :rotfl:

 

:rotfl: :rotfl: Ha Ha..yeah i know!!! NO silent block fitted...thats my issue!!! anyways hows yours going you gettin over 60 out of that yet apparently on here there's some 50's that are quicker than yours :lol:

 

Its quicker than a gts so well happy with the performance!!!!!!!!!

You haven't said what happened to the twin setup?

 

But as i said only to 60 !!!!.never mind :lol:
..yeah twin was a pain in the arse and friends persuaded me not to continue think they were worried once it was on the road it would make their scoots look so slow :lol:

 

looks verry good that perfect match of old and new.

 

Think you're telling porky pies !!!see you on the road sucker and you will be smelling my 2 stroke for sure (the toe cutters on to you)dont forget johnny and bubba are on the highways too!!!!!!!! :mod: :yahoo:

 

does look empty now :cry: ...looks a bit better with side panels on... + i can always pretend :lol:

 

get on and redo the crank for the twin,

 

oh Dave i'd love to but i've gone past it now :banghead: ...time and money...just wanna ride it, i haven't even had it on the road yet m8
