My Lambretta LD 125 had a Dellorto carb, but that was 48 years ago. You know what they say, nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

I'd recommend the scooter shop on abbeydale road. Especially over armandos! I've been in armandos once and never returned, I've been going to the one on abbeydale road now for ages even though I've left scooters and moved onto bikes.
