ive not found one yet ,other than the innocetti manual ,i thought i emailed you a pdf off ,if memorys wrong message us a email address an i'll zap it over .
i was lucky ,local scooter guy,gerry ingram was trained on them so i could just ask him . 2 never does are , dont strip the kickstarts helical gears ,you'll never get em back together right i was told. an if you need to split crank cases you will have to make a copy of the proper tool ,theres only a few in england so doubt you'll find 1 in states .without a tool its very easy to damage cases ,an there matched an line bored at factory so not interchangeable .
the facebook ld an shaft drive lamm pages are ok ,helpful guys mostly . H

Which year ?
As H has pointed out there not easy but not impossible either i have done a few over the years - also the crank has lots of shims on the clutch side that need re aligning - and if fitting new crank its a pain in the arse getting them re shimmed....
It is also possible to modify spanners and pullers to suit - Getting the clutch body off the main casing seems to be the bugger and to remove the clutch basket is another bastard.... good fun and a definite learning curve.
II have a hard copy of the Lambretta workshop manual for this model but certain years had different kick start mechanisms -

as me says theres many different kickstarts , mk1's have 1 type ,mk2's can have 3 variations ,an mk3's 2 ,depending on electric start or not with mk3's .
also as me says its a learning curve ,ive found lamm owners an mechanics split into 2 camps mostly , ld an earlier or li n later . with not much crossover ,goes for parts suppliers aswell .an most manuals ive seen on ebay are in italian ,so you'd need to go buy a lot of spaghetti at your local itay restaurant to get translated.dont try google translate it mangles tech-speak .

H, your memory is good, you did send that pdf to me. I just don't want to make a stupid mistake through ignorance.(when I break something,I like to know why it broke) It runs poorly, like it has bad compression, I'll probably hone the barrel and put in new rings, and hope that's it. me. It's a 57 i think, both the motor and frame number are larger than any given for a ld, but only by a hundred or so. I'd be concerned by it but I have 2 lds and both are like that. I think they made the for the U.S. market with whatever parts the had on hand.  Thanks to you both, for the help. |

looks mark3 to me , with the handlebar cover an speedo on bars too .not sure from photo ,could be the headlight rim confusing me, but horncast looks french to me . might explain the different numbers ,as the french built ld's used numbers the italians hadnt used up each year .tho panels are italian with the kidney grills not the round french "portholes" .an actually the bar cover looks french aswell ,innocetti was as bad as piaggio for doing mix n match/parts bin specials for various export models .
1 thing ,dont misplace or damage the toolbox door ,there made from purest "unobtainable" . H
