lambretta heat seizure

[@pauloconnor7951]

Copper gaskets top and bottom. With copper spray gasket applied. Draw some heat away.

[@TheSteelweasel]

Well boys bike has run ever since we upgraded the cooling and no problem. No more heat seizures happy days

[@davyburns6926]

Please can you tell me what grade wet and dry you used and what lubrication when removing the scuffs on the piston?

[@TheSteelweasel]

@@davyburns6926 800 . beware the seize marks will be harder than the rest of the piston .

[@omardeolas9127]

GRACIAS!!!!. Muy claras, didáctico y precisas las explicaciones que das. Me sirvió un montón para intentar poner en marcha mi Siambretta 175 tv de 1964 . Desde Argentina Saludos!!!!

[@TheSteelweasel]

Grasias amigo

When you showed the top end of cylinder it actually looked like there was a crack/ slight gap between liner and the aluminum

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

Very, very interesting observations! I understand none of it but very, very interesting.

[@jfrorn]

Great video, learned quite a bit, thanks Steve!

[@robertbroadhead6173]

nice vid,i'd suspect quality of the 2stoke oil the guy was using

[@TheSteelweasel]

YES thats a big factor , quality and flash point are as low as 70c on some oils to keep a clean motor and low smoke emissions in modern regulations , might do a follow on vid 🙂

[@simonfranklin7659]

Good video fella and learnt something

[@pauloconnor7951]

Get some copper in those stud holes somehow. Copper plate the studs. Copper particles. Something.

[@jfrorn]

You should do a video on your tools! I'm wondering what that stud removal tool is with the allen wrench bit? That looks proper handy!

[@robinhope-xg7vw]

Great video and thanks for the tips on cooling 👍🏾

[@enricoberto9402]

Why not put a copper head gasket which dissipates the heat better , congratulation for the video .Hello

[@TheSteelweasel]

hi comments are welcome , nice idea keep them coming 💖

[@davidblagden7894]

Great vid Steve 👍🏼

[@squeakmillward]

Could you cover the studs with heat sink compound that they use on computer CPU,s?

[@billsmith1545]

And now the ethanol 10 to contend with !!

[@TheSteelweasel]

dont worry you can remove the ethanol no problem😎

[@boomtownbuck-a-roos8597]

I filled up with super unleaded yesterday for the first time got 5 miles down the road and holed the piston It’s ts225 with vape sport ignition and franspeed race pipe everything running good till I filled with super unleaded it’s either that or just coincidence

[@stephenrichards8065]

Super unleaded is higher octane so less chance of detonation? So look closely at other things exhaust leak ? Or partially blocked exhaust can make you hole a piston and it creeps up on you over time ?

[@boomtownbuck-a-roos8597]

@@stephenrichards8065 it’s brand new exhaust been on a couple of weeks

[@stephenrichards8065]

@@boomtownbuck-a-roos8597 ahh so it might be leaking check flange and slip joint was it fitted with new gasket and sealant ? Hope you didn't fit it on a used gasket ?????

[@boomtownbuck-a-roos8597]

@@stephenrichards8065 I didn’t fit it a guy who runs a scooter garage down in Cornwall did the work I’m hoping he used new gasket

[@exsoulagent]

Was it Shell super you had used ?

[@franklinbarros4801]

You realize when you go from wrenching the shock off to holding a spark plug in your hand with nothing in between that it makes sense to you but for people who are learning

[@TheSteelweasel]

Sorry I dont teach I just have fun .

[@afiqghafor8166]

finally i find how to open barell

[@jfrorn]

I've noticed a lot of scooters in the UK and Europe have those reinforced fuel lines, what are they called? I'd like something that doesn't kink up like the typical clear lines...

[@exsoulagent]

Bgm sell it although it goes hard like the other lines available over time

[@TheSteelweasel]

its from scooter center

[@jonathanparker2411]

Sip do them

[@andrewdace1314]

In steve we trust 👊

[@neuralyser]

What happened to the leak down test? Good video

[@TheSteelweasel]

[@jimksa67]
