Luckily, there are quite a few videos of some more experienced hands showing us how it is done.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br/></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This timelapse video of a 1963 Lambretta engine, offers a satisfying look into the restoration of this old two-stroke. Once in a&nbsp;scooter, now in need of a refresh. There were no details shared about what model the engine came from, but displacement details were divulged it turns out that the motor comes in at 150cc, and it&#39;s got some choice parts in the mix. The builder,&nbsp;najib Mohd zin, added his parts list which is as follows.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br/></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Cylinder rebore from 57.0mm to 64.0mm</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Re-profiled cylinder head</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">GP crank with 110mm Japan con-rod</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">26mm manifold + Mikuni carb</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">2.0kg flywheel + BGM stator</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Uprated chain tensioner by Casa Performance</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">16t front sprocket + 46t Japanese style 5 plates clutch</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Casa Lambretta Clubman, Twin Megaphone exhaust</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br/></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Of course, the video starts out with disassembly, then cleaning, then finally, reassembly. There was even a point in the video where we saw actual time passing, indicating that this was not just a one-afternoon endeavor.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br/></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">After the whole engine is put back together with new gaskets, <a href="https://www.sunspeedbearing.com/products/catalogue.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192); text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);"><strong>bearings</strong></span></a>, and other key components, a&nbsp;carburetor&nbsp;was hooked up, a fuel tank was connected, and the starter was given a good old-fashioned kick to crank the engine back to life. Following that, we get a normal-speed exhaust clip of the engine and it sounds glorious. Of course, now this motor needs a new home, and what better place to put it than a Lambretta, but what Lambretta? Personally, I&#39;m dying to know. Heck, this engine deserves to be on the road once more after the comprehensive rebuild. Still, it&#39;s a satisfying video to watch.&nbsp;</span></p><p><br/></p>
