I've just had cause to strip my SX due to a failed big end.
On stripping it struck me that the electronic kit has been on over 20yrs without fault.
It was a genuine SIL kit sold by SR when the AF ducati kits stopped.
Give it a thorough check and all the wiring, soldering, etc is still spot on and checked the flywheel again spot on -both look brand new (external of flywheel excluded)
They were rewired before been sent out by SR.
I remember buying it and fitting it and just followed the instructions....using positive stop and a simple timing disc - It was th first lambretta I had ever timed from scratch

Things were genuinely better in the old days..........

If it continues like this it will see me out, good old SIL (RIP)

It's hilarious that people still slag off Indian parts

Mind I compared the genuine SIL stator to a so called SIL one I had kicking about (always thought it wasn't genuine even though stamped) and the quality of that compared is shite.... rough casting etc

I've always been a believer in genuine SIL parts but when SR are running out of it, most of that sold as definitely isn't and I've seen that first hand recently....which I would slag off!
