Dyno testing

[citydaz]

Hi,

my mugello 186 Li series III, is having problems spluttering and cutting out.
It starts first time and ticks over no problem, but when I put it in gear it wont go uphill and stalls. I think the timing is shot and the jetting needs adjusting.
Can anyone recommend a good garage in the manchester area where I can get my scoot dynoed and fixed.
(my regular garage is too busy for the next two weeks)
cheers

Why don't you check your timing first ? When that's set correctly, then start jetting through plug chops.
With these symptoms I think you'll be spending a lot on remedial work before it gets put on the dyno.

Thanks for the advice, just need a garage in the north-west to take it to now.....

Ring him and ask

[citydaz]

Yes, i did ring Mike - he said he was too busy, which is why I posted the question in the first place

Maybe PSL in Kirkby, that's if Mike can't fit you in.

There's also PSN in Batley, West Yorkshire, which isn't too far.

Got my scoot back on friday from pete at PSL.
Turned out it was faulty wiring in the headset which was shorting out the ignition.
This has been fixed and the scoot dynoed.
16.8 bhp on a mugello 186, but only 68.1 mph?! could swear the speedo once read 80mph!
Its now running really sweet.
cheers all

That's pretty much what my Mugello does (GPS) with 26mm and Ancelotti clubman. Never trust a Lambretta speedo, my totally standard S2 Li150 often tells me I'm doing 70mph when in reality it struggles to get over 45mph!
