Hi, how did you get the fuel tank filler pipe off the tank, mine is stuck fast and I don’t want to have to remove the engine to drop the tank out of the frame. Thanks.

[@shinyred]

It should just unscrew try a bit of heat if the fuel tank is empty ...you can't remove the tank without removing the filler first btw 👍

lovely! I have got a question that I would appreciate a lot of you could help me. I will acquire an LD150 from 1958. they seem to have very very similar engines. would you be able yo tell me from where can I drain the oil to be able to change it? I can do with some advice! and thank you so much in advance!!

[@shinyred]

Thanks the engines vary in all sorts of ways even from the same year, there should be a drain plug on the join of the two halves of the cases 👌

[@gianfrancochimienti3867]

@@shinyred Thanks for the quick reply! how does the valve normally look like?

[@shinyred]

@@gianfrancochimienti3867 it's one of the larger allen bolts that hold the cases together I can get a picture tomorrow while I am in the shop 👌

So what’s the plan with it then?

[@shinyred]

Fitting a ali kit and new crank 👍🏻

[@exsoulagent]

shiny red didn’t know you could get an ali kit for them 😬

I'm picking up a 1957 french LD125 this weekend. Could you let me know where I'd get the new kit and crank from please?
