Posch Performance build the same engine for a Vespa based on a pinasco casing and solved many problems in his built👍he seems like a really nice guy and maybe you could get some good ideas from each other. Oh ok,gerade gesehen,dass du selber aus Deutschland bist,dann hast du sicher schon von seiner Arbeit gehört 😉
Hi, yes, I know Jürgen very well, and we are in almost daily contact. We both had the idea for the Thor independently, but almost at the same time. He has now proven that it's a very suitable cylinder for Vespa scooters, and of course, water cooling offers a significant advantage. I am no longer continuing the project based on the Killercase, but I have shown that adapting it to the Killercase can be done with relatively little effort. The Thor project is by no means "off the table" - as confirmed by the results from Posch Performance, I will take it to the next level. For 2025, the following projects and POC engines (Proof of Concept) are in planning: - Thor single-cylinder engine - based on a modified original Lambretta engine case - Thor single-cylinder engine - based on a different engine case - Thor twin-cylinder engine - based on the Chimera Twin Kit If there is interest in building one of these engines for yourself or your customers, please contact me. It will be a win-win situation: You'll receive a unique LC Lambretta engine with all my knowledge integrated, and my work will be free for one of this first POC engines - only the parts for a discount price need to be paid for: Deal? Please contact me through official channels: www.lambretta-lutz.de/en/Contact-us/ It’s going to be great - stay tuned!

Ports are to advanced , use the 60 and drop the barrel is my advise , paragliders dont need the low end torque but lambrettas ride much better with low timings . good idea nice playing with stuff .
Hi Steelweasel, first of all, I really like your UA-cam channel - great content! Congrats! You are absolutely right in your comment. It also depends a lot on the barrel design and personal preferences. I like to ride my Lambrettas very fast, so I usually prefer different timing settings than those I would recommend for a customer's engine who desires a touring setup. Here, in this "Proof of Concept," the focus is on demonstrating a straightforward conversion to water cooling, even though I know that many Lambretta riders are rather skeptical about it, despite the obvious advantages. I haven't made a new video yet, but I'm currently working on a modification to show how the same setup can potentially be adapted to a Casa casing. However, this will happen after I return from vacation and get back to the workshop. So stay tuned... it's going to be good!
@@Lambretta-Lutz looking forward to it , i used a yamaha arox water pump driven direct off front of flywheel with three pins with rubber sleeves , worked well on my water cooled endurance scooter .
@@TheSteelweasel Thank you for your suggestion, very interesting. I believe that if you're going for LC and thus eliminating forced air cooling and the flywheel, why add mechanical components again? Just by removing the flywheel, you're already freeing up a few horsepower. Since I always use a DC system, I will opt for a thermostat-controlled electric pump. The power consumption of modern pumps is very low. I’ve had very good experiences with this in other automatic conversions.
@@Lambretta-Lutz electric pump will be unreliable . every moto x bike uses a driven pump that runs faster and slower with the motor rpm , i had a electric pump on a water cooled engine 40 years ago and chucked it in a box ? still there i think . I ran a driven pump on my endurance scooter in 6 hour races no problems . you can try if you like . But charging a battery will use about 1.5 bhp the pump will be around 0.5 bhp to run
