Compo 10,328 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 FANTASTIC! Worra Scooby Doo! Love the chroming - did the expansion box make a difference to the performance? I once tried a similar arrangement on my Series III LI150 but it took all the guts out of it so I ended up reverting to the standard pipe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RGR 218 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Compo, back in the 60's we were more interested in chrome accessories than tuning up the scooters.Had a sport exhaust on the Vespa's - chrome of course. The ss had 12-volt electrics, which was pretty good. There was a fuel injection kit (Walt Philp) but guys I know who've used it, took it off in a matter of days, and never used it. When it comes to mechanics, I'm totally clueless. Used to have a biker guy in Bulwell do work on the scooters and also Glenn's motors, where I knew most of the guys. Some of the scooters I've seen recently in the UK had fabulous paint work, airbrush. I will post some. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dgbrit 258 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I spent a lot of my life tuning 2strokes The expansion chamber was tuned to act like a supercharger by overfilling the cylinder BUT you had to get the jetting of the carb right or the big bang or more like a yaaaaaap would result No way could you just bolt on a pipe without richening the mixture (More power means more fuel).
