Although about a vega, I wonder if anyone has had similar issues with a bigger Lambretta, e.g. When fitting a 5 or 6 plate clutch? The original 3 plate was mullered by the 140 conversion within 80 miles. I've squooze a 4 plate clutch in (with MB springs) but now just loose enough to allow the kick start to engage won't allow the scooter to be held in gear on the clutch. Is binding & slipping at the same time the correct term?
My only hunch is could the corks have dried out? I did soak them in oil for about a week but they then sat in open engine for months whilst I got stuck on other repairs.
Any ideas before I strip.it again are gratefully received.
