BEHOLD!

I’d been waiting for ANY store to get a carb float. Casa Lambretta says that they are no longer made. West Coast Lambretta Works says they won’t be getting any in for months. Scooters Originali says they found a place in Europe that is going to start making them, but they won’t be ready for a while. I had almost lost hope of finding one.

Then I went to the Scooter Lounge in Orem, Utah while I was in town. I asked Dave, the owner, for some cables and stuff and said, “Oh by the way, if you happen to have a carb float for a Del Lorto SH1/18 carb, you would save my life. I’ve looked everywhere.”

He said, “You know what, I think I might.”

He happened to have a used carb sitting around and he sold me the float for $5! I couldn’t believe he had one. It’s a dream come true.

I’ve been working on details and little things for a while, like painting the rims…

I put in the correct mounting hardware for the horncast and mudguard.

I bought a used horncast grill, stripped it, and shined it up.

 

And I touched up the rear rack and put it back on.
