The Jet 200 finally gets a long overdue overhaul, with the added benefit of lights that actually illuminate for a change.

Never let it be said that I don’t take advice from others. When reader Chris said that spare tire racks can damage your Lammy, I investigated.

The advent of warm weather in a Lambretta owner’s life can mean only one thing. Riding? No – wrenching. I’ve had a mental to-do list all winter. A small set of niggles I want to set straight (in some cases literally) before the riding season enters full swing.

A washed and waxed scooter is a beautiful thing. But learn from my mistakes and make sure the darn tires are in shape for riding. Trials and tribulations inside.

Since welcoming a 1975 Serveta Lambretta Jet 200 into the family at the beginning of the month I’ve been tied up too much with other matters to post much additional news, so I owe you a few notes dear readers.

I’ve just done my first full carburetor rebuild. Sure I’ve opened one up before, looked around, pretended I knew what I was doing. Yes, I’ve even cleaned the jets before but I’ve never done a full rebuild.

This weekend brought a new addition to the NYCS family – a 1975 Serveta Lambretta Jet 200. Over the next few weeks I’ll be bringing you my experiences with this beast, but first a little history.

Widely consider to be THE Bible for Lambretta owners looking for everything from changing a tire to a complete strip-down and debuild, “The Complete Spanner’s Manual” is back.
