No rust, looks like it's all there. The plan is to put it back together. I'll be looking for a repair manual and some exploded parts drawings

Just did one this summer. What a trip ! If you're on FB, the "Lambretta Shaft Riders Page", the "Lambretta-D/LD-Projects ", and "Lambretta LD Owners Group" are good for help and info.

That being said, I have enjoyed putting this old scooter back together.

LD is a shaft driven engine, its an entirely different beast to the chain driven models.

I had an LD150 MK3, it had sat for 20 years and started 2nd kick after releasing piston, standing seize. Relatively simple engine to get head around really accept dont go thinking you can tune them with kitting. Love it for what it is when you get it all together, it will potter happily at 45mph all day long. Anymore power put on it and the shafts snap; believe me in the early 80s we all had a go at souping up an LD, all in failure.
