Thought I would do a little running report about my PX rebuild. As the scooter started. It had a few knocks, dings and the odd spot of rust.  Stripped and ready for blasting.  Blasted and ready for a few little mods.  |

Iam doing it in between jobs at work but want to crack on with it. Got a spec in mind so should be good when done. Also building my Lambretta at the same time so it is a juggling act at the mo.

Once painted the cutouts will have some fine mesh behind them. It is going to be Nitrous blue which was used on the 2016 Ford Focus RS.

Lee76, hope you don't mind a few questions about your engine? as I'm really interested in your thread.
Any tuning to the barrel?
What kind of crank's fitted?
What make of reed valve is fitted?
Do you know what number slide and what the carb jetting is?
A lot of questions I know, but thought I take the opportunity to ask, as I don't know anyone who has a 166
Engine that's been built by JB tuning and they have a good reputation.
Keep up the good work 😊
Jim

The cases are fully ported and the barrel has had a tickle, the reed valve is the Malossi kit which comes with a 30mm Dellorto. Got the wiring loom laid in place and the front end with carbon mudguard is fitted.  |

Do envy your workshop, my small shed looks like a flaming graveyard! 2 cross flow engines, 1 997cc Anglia lump, 3 gearboxes, 2 fairly complete scoots (1978 and 1983 Vespas) and a frame that is barely suspended by wood and willpower!
