Sometimes you have to move or open up the mounting holes. I have a similar backrest on my 150 4T

slotrod65

OK, So here is the link: http://www.tassoparts.co.uk/cgi-bin/store.pl?action=link&sku=TS009 Tasso is not giving up whose carb this is, and if it were a Mikuni or a Polini, I suspect they would be trumpeting it... and it would certainly cost more, no? They say it is bolt on to the stock intake, f...

slotrod65

Tasso has a 22mm carb offered for the 125/150 4T. What advantages might there be? Disadvantages? It runs around $50 less shipping. I am wondering if it is a worthwhile upgrade.

slotrod65

For those prices, I would rather buy new from TASSO and pay shipping.

slotrod65

Thanks again, I look forward to hearing more.

slotrod65

Hmmm... No rev limiter does scare me a bit. I guess I am going for the slider. Thanks!

slotrod65

So, Which do you feel works better? the Adjustable CDI or the slider?

I have a 150 4T with the RAM air filter and GPI exhaust.

slotrod65

Thanks Buddy, I just ordered one.

slotrod65

I think we are talking apples and oranges. I was asking about the little filter in the crankcase vent.

slotrod65

Thanks, I'll start searching. I hope to see you at the Rumble.

slotrod65

So I am a bit confused. Do you have both the Tasso slider and the Reedspeed CDI installed. Don't both advance the timing?

Where did you get that neat little filter and the elbow?

Hi Guys, Just my two cents about TUPP/Scooterpaint. I ordered the blue and glosscoat to match my Stella, and painted the wheel rims last summer. The match was perfect. Expensive yes, but perfect color match, also yes. Ease of use: I prepped the parts according to the instructions and painted in my b...

I have been running a 40mm Ramair for a year now with zero problems whatsoever. You do hear valvetrain clank though.

slotrod65

Thanks for the pics guys, I may just have to add the air box chop to the list for this year's mods.

slotrod65

Here's my list. Get and install TASSO sliding timer bracket, upjet the carb, maybe spring for the TASSO 22mm carb. I also need ot get a 2T hub so I can finally paint my hubs to match the body. Oh yeah, I have a set of FIAMM airhorns mounted that need a compressor. My Stella already has a Tasso CDI, ...

slotrod65

Thanks for the kind words. Swapping to LEDs has allowed me to add additional lights. For saftey... yeah, that's it, they are for safety...

slotrod65

Thanks for posting this. I was thinking of ripping out my airbox as well and using the space to store a set of tools, freeing up room in my glovebox.

slotrod65

I installed Primas. They are just a smidge wider, so I needed to put washers on the studes before mounting. There is no noticable difference due to the washers, and I denfinately have more rubber on the road.

slotrod65

I ordered TUPP paints for my rims. They are a two part color and clear overcoat. To simplify things (and because I was too lazy to clean the rims) I bought new rims, sanded them lightly, then gave them a quick wipe down with naptha, and painted them. I am quite please with them, but the paint did co...

My acting debut! This is a promo for our local scooter club rally in Albany, NY: The A-Town Rumble. Yeagh, that's me with the spots and mirrors:

The ram air is a 40mm end to fit on the carb.

I think I left the breather on... You need something there, even if it simply drains behind the wheel.

slotrod65

Let's just say that you do not have to.

You may have to unplug some tubes, put the rack on, then plug 'em back in.

slotrod65

Yes. I needed to add a longer pin with some washers. I also had to grind the front of the bracket to clear the tank. As for functionality, my rack is fully functional as a back rest, spare tire holder and as a rear rack.

slotrod65

Here you go. Please let me know if there are any details you need to see. Ignore the wires, they are part of my 5 extra tail lights. http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu49/slotrod65/001_zpsir7cmdk2.jpg http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu49/slotrod65/003_zpswj3vzkhe.jpg http://i632.photobucket.com...

slotrod65

I wried to the center switched just like the previous spots, and I am very pleased with the results. The LEDs do not project very much, but they shold be excellent running lights.

slotrod65

OK, so I finally had time to convert the last two spots, I was worried these would be harder to convert, as the bulbs on the Notek lights are held in with three little screws. In fact. they were easier: a few notches added to the H3 bulb base with a triangle and mini round file and I was all set: ht...

slotrod65

I never changed scoot tires before, and did my own last summer. 1.5 hours sounds high to me based on my experience. As others have said, yes, there is a paper filter in addition to the screen, it is on the other side of the motor. I have changed it myself. It is not difficult to do. As for the tubes...

slotrod65

That looks sharp!

slotrod65

Nothing at this time. I need to get another set of bulbs to convert the other pair of spots. Then I will wire those to the Center switch.

slotrod65

And the moment of truth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC2uvU9V51Y The stadium light in the center has a 102 LED bulb, while the Lucas lamps are only 28 LEDs. I plan on trying a pair of 68 LED and 102 LED in the Lucas lamps, but there maybe clearance issues as the LEDs are not the same size as the...

slotrod65

And finally wired in the connections to the spots. http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu49/slotrod65/029_zpssum2ykhv.jpg I am thinking that I will need to enclose the wiring in a project box to prevent shorts, but for now, I was very happy how it all worked out. http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu...

slotrod65

Next I created a parallel harness for the hot lead:

slotrod65

The switches were an easy install after that: http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu49/slotrod65/018_zpssjksrboe.jpg http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu49/slotrod65/019_zpsmo6rfcth.jpg http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu49/slotrod65/024_zpsqlgbhkvk.jpg http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu49/slot...

slotrod65

Now it was time for the main event: Drilling the 9/16" mounting holes with the big bit. I drilled in short bursts so as not to heat up the drill, and to reduce burrs. http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu49/slotrod65/013_zpsiw6v0ny0.jpg http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu49/slotrod65/016_zps6...

slotrod65

OK, so this morning I finally screwed up the courage to install the toggle switches. Why all the angst? Because I would have to drill holes in the glove box to mount them. Some masking tape allowed me to sketch right on the glovebox, and plan where I wanted to mount them. http://i632.photobucket.com...

slotrod65

Yesterday I removed the horncast, and ran wires into the glovebox. A piece of coat hanger wire came in handy yet again in assisting fishing the wired through the holes. 1: In the horn slot: http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu49/slotrod65/004_zps5frv61pf.jpg 2: through the legshield and into the gl...

That's odd... it says Public. One more time:

slotrod65

Next up: wiring into the Stella's harness, including a switch to turn them on and off.

slotrod65

Although everything looked good, there was no way to know until everything was assembled, and I cold test the results with a 9 volt battery:

slotrod65

It was brainstorming time. I knew I would never find a washer the correct size to fit the light and the bulb, so I decided to make one. Then I realized I did not need a washer, but simply a spacer with a slot cut in it. I drink espresso and have a dozen empty Illy brand coffee cans lying around. The...

Here is the H3 LED bulb next to the original 48 watt bulb. Note the skirt. http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu49/slotrod65/005_zpsea33nj1k.jpg It appears I was too smart for my own good: The skirt in the H3 bulb is too small for the mount on the spotlight. http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu49/s...

slotrod65

I finally got around to picking up a pair of H3 LED bulbs. I chose H3s because they have a mounting skirt, and the vintage bulbs have a skirt as well. Here is a photo of the original bulb mounting setup for the outer pair of Lucas spots: The skirt on the bulb is held in place by a spring clip. http:...

slotrod65

Hey gang, So, I mounted vintage Notek and Lucas spotlights on my Stella last year, but did not wire them since each of the original vintage bulbs is a whopping 48 watts, and that would kill my battery in no time. Instead, I the plan is to convert the lights to low wattage LED bulbs. I am not using t...

slotrod65

Will you be upgrading the rest of your driveline to handle the extra power? I am thinking is the crank, bearings up to it? Based on my clutch's lack luster performance, that may be an issue as well. I would like to hear more... and see photos!

slotrod65

Yesterday it was 50 degrees out, so I put in the battery and started her up. Because I have a RAM foam air filter that dodges the stock airbox, you can hear the valve clatter in the first part of the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHmrc_0Ex84&feature=youtu.be Then I armored up and went f...

slotrod65

That being said, I am having a blast doing my own maintenance and performance upgrades. A Stella is a hell of a lot cheaper than a vintage 50's or 60's car.

slotrod65

Again, I have a Stella shifter, with a GPR exhaust, a Ramair 40mm foam air filter, a Tasso Hi Power "orange" HT Coil, a : AOR14LGS Brisk High Performance Motor Cycle Special Silver Electrode Spark Plug, and I have up jetted the carb. Do I have more performance, yeah... more pulling power i...

You won't beat anyone in a drag race with a Stella. It is not a pig, but if anyone wants to pass you, they will.
