How many large block barrels are there? Name them.

Need help with a tuning kit, how do you tune your scooter, which kit should I choose, and all general tuning and modifcations questions are for in here.

How many large block barrels are there? Name them.

Postby Knowledge » Sun Oct 01, 2017 11:50 pm

It amazes me that some 45 years after the last Lambretta rolled off the production line in Italy, there are more kits available for this machine than any other powered two wheeler. So many, I have lost count.

Can you name the large block barrels that have been made available since 1980, and how would you describe their use/performance in three words?

Just for fun.

I'd like to know how he achieves such large displacement with a Lambretta barrel. I thought I was sailing pretty close to the wind with a genuine 253cc (64x71).

75/77 Bore?

It is a newly cast barrel similar in style to the trusty TS1, but with a bore of 76.25mm.

The casing, and it can be a 125/150 casing, has the mouth machined off, and then a CNC new case-mouth welded on to take the big stud spacing. A new head is machined from billet. The cranks are big diameter made to the usual high standard of Harry Barlow
