Hi all, I have just come across this site and I am looking forward to all the informative discussions. I'm Roy, spent years riding blackbirds when I was working up town,semi retired now and wanted a bike for popping to the shops hobby etc. I bought an lml 125 2 stroke a couple of years back and have since had a malossi 166 fitted by Kegra Racing in Southend.
I'm new to owning a scooter and I have a few niggles which I'm hoping you will be able to discuss and point me in the right direction.Thanks for letting me join the forum, Roy

Welcome to MV - Your best bet for good tips etc is to post in the 'Not So Modern' section, which deals which all vintage and 2 stroke scooters. I'm moving this topic over there right now.

Hi all, I have an lml 125 2 stroke with a 166 malossi kit.i have a px Maz comp crank fitted, it's running idle jet 4-140,a BE4 mixer tube atomizer and a 190 air corrector jet. The carburettor is still the standard SI type. And a polini race exhaust...I'm looking to you guys for your input as to why the bike seems to run poorly ie almost as if it is on full choke when you 1st pull away...but suddenly clears and pulls like a train....is this normal ?...is it the point where the power band is ? While on a long run the engine doesn't miss a beat and accelerates beautifully, it's only when you stop and then go to pull away again that the bogging appears.im very new to the scooter scene so please treat me as a novice.i really would appreciate any points in the right direction.Thanks Roy
Saw this in the "Projects" section of the forum. Are you still having throttle problems at take off. Maybe you're too rich but someone should chime in with more info or questions.

BTW, questions like this are best answered in this area of the forum.

Welcome, and I hope you solve your throttle issue.
