My Vijai Super test report Hi all, I have been taking my scooter for short rides late in the night. The engines fires up fine, but still had / have some issues to be solved.
1. The gear shift rocker was too close to the shock absorber support and was stopped by the shock absober support. The result was that the 4th gear would'nt engage. The best option was to remove everything completely and rotate the shift lever by 5 - 10 degrees and assemble things back. Had been fidling with this engine for the past 2 months and was aware of the apin involved. Tried filing some metal off the shift lever and it really worked. The 4th gear is engaging now.
2. In spite of giving an acid wash to the petrol tank, I see rust particles in the petrol hose and the filter. Still finer particles have the chance to find its way to the carb. Need ideas to completely get rid off rust. Approched a few electroplating & galvanizing solutions. They all guaranteed a fine coating on the outer wall, but not inside. Please help.
3. I feel the steering a bit hard as complared to when I had bought it. Could be because of over tightening of the front fork nut.
4. With new rear brake drum and brake shoes the braking is wavy, meaning I feel like having an ABS. Looks like ovality in brake drum. What could be the other chances for this, and how do I fix them.
5. What is the recommended oil mix proportion? I am using 50ml 2T oil per litre of petrol. Is that ok or does it need still more since the bore, pistion, & connecting rod bearings are new. What driving speed is recommended while the engine is new? though I dont drive at full throttle at any point of time.
As I donot have any reliable Lambretta mechanic here, I have to try out and fix the above problems. So please pour in your ideas and suggestions and help me fix the above said problems.
Thanks & Regards
