Hi chaps finally getting back round to building my dl 150 & after looking at kits I've decided on the GT 186, I'm looking at the delorto PHBH 30mm to go with it ,
Any thought on the above or anyone running a similar set up ?

Hello

I have a GT 186 which I've done a couple thousand miles on in the last couple of years . I started with a 25mm dellorto with a AF clubman ran lovely however when I fitted a 30mm dellorto and a BGM clubman it transformed the bike totally I had it dynoed @ 20 BHP pulls like a train gives some if the standard TS1 lads a run . You probally need to beef the clutch up a bit I used Richard Taylor's springs they seem to work fine . I used the manifold from the GT 200 kit so it sits on the left side like a standard oh I didn't need to cut a hole in the panel. Hope this helps

Cheers watto66 I got the 30 MM PHBH from Richard last week 60/110 GT crank & 186 kit , put the crank in today , hopefully get time to build top end tomorrow I've uprated clutch & sprocket as well with BGM gone 46-17,

I'm running a PHBH30 with my GT186 and 60/110 crank, but with a Franspeed Race pipe and Li150 box 16/46, also running a GT200 with PHBH30,58/107 crank, BGM clubman and Li150 17/46. Both run really well although the pipes make them different animals

hi peeps,bigger carb,you,ll need deep pockets inclusive of petrol,,do not run out or you,ll probably seize i did ii run a 175 63mm-26mm del,kbam clubman exhaust,a real Tiger,this is my 1st post,lambretta named IRIS<THANKS ALL

The GT kits are actually very good on economy even with a 30mm carb, reed valve plays a big part in this

I was going to go for a Super Tourer but Rich Taylor recommended the Race as it suits the GT kit better, the man who designed the kit should know

I like the sound of the super tour with the midrange power , just looking to see whose got the stainless steel one in stock .

Speak to Rich T 1st, he recommended the race over the super tourer to me for a reason....it's a better pipe for the kit
