New products from MB Developments

We will feature the new products that are mentioned in our regular editorials in Scootering magazine as well as new products that don't make it to scootering.

There are some products that are on here that we have been selling for years but they are new to the internet so we think they qualify!

The page will fill from the top down so the newest product will always be at the top.

	The MB Developments Stage 4 factory tuned 200cc package. We take a standard Indian cylinder, all port edges are chamfered, the transfer feeds are lowered and cleaned up. We use the Asso 2 ring road-race piston. All bores and pistons are measured to find a perfect match of piston to bore clearance. (If this is NOT done you either get a tight bore which seizes or a slack bore which rattles.) WE CHECK EVERY ONE WE SELL! We clean up the cylinder and supply all the studs, nuts, washers, and gaskets, including the cylinder studs and nuts and washers for the head. Each kit comes with full fitting and running in instructions. We use the stronger Indian 200 heads in these kits. We reprofile them to suit them Asso pistons then lower the compression ratio to suit unleaded fuel. We can supply a head with out lowered compression to suit people who want a faster scooter but this requires a much closer eye kept on the jetting. We recommend the 30mm PHBH carb kit to use with this kit in conjunction with a clubman exhaust for the best all-round touring package.	MRB0275/K Stage 4 factory kit
	The ever popular 28 and 30mm PHBH Dellorto complete carb packages as supplied by MB Developments. MB Developments manufacture or modify special shortened inlet manifolds so the carb kit will fit under the side panels, so you don't need to cut holes in them. At MB Developments we take a PHBH carb and strip it to check and swap the jets. We supply spare main jets and needles that will suit any engine setup. The full kit includes carb, mounting rubber, cable choke assembly, mounting rubber jubilee clips, inlet manifold with its fasteners, inlet gasket, the MB Developments remote ram air filter and a universal nylon lined throttle cable. The package also includes full running in and jetting instructions. This kit is recommended for all stage 4-6 tunes, including our factory stage 4 200cc package. It gives a good spread of power and excellent fuel economy. Scooters can reach up 20HP and 85mph but are usually used for the best "all round" engine set-up, cruising at 70mph two-up, being good around town and also on the open road.

	Over the years a number of engine have come into our workshop to solve totally worn out cylinders. From the engineering point of view these engines were set up perfectly, either by us, our customers or other dealers. To the untrained eye it seems that there is nothing wrong with the set-up to cause any wear, but we have known a brand new TS1 lose all the nicasil in 20 miles to give a piston to bore clearance measurable not in thousands of an inch but in millimetres measurable with a wooden ruler! Firstly, customers blame a kit, WRONG! When quizzed it normally turns out that the petrol tank has been sandblasted without blanking off the holes on the tank. We usually find this happens when tanks have been epoxy coated because the sand that is used to blast them gets in the tank. This sand passes through the fuel system through the carb and then wears away the piston and bore. A mild sign of this is the inlet side of the piston looking like it has been sandblasted. Sometimes we have come across sand in fuel straight from petrol stations, this can wear away your cylinder if used regularly. For these reasons, and it is a very common problem, we have introduced a range of inline fuel filters for all Lambrettas, tuned or standard. The cheapest is the throw-away plastic item.It is clear and you can see the amount of particles that come through in the fuel. These filters quickly discolour with the oil and fuel mixture but you can expect them to last well over a year. Our next range are reasonably cheap but they have the advantage that you can take them apart and clean them out. They come in a variety of colours - red, blue, chrome and gold. The top of the range ones have glass windows allowing you to view inside to see if the filter is clogging up with particles. They can be stripped and cleaned out. They are available in red or blue. All the filters that MB Developments sell flow enough fuel to suit race tuned engines but as we have explained we consider them an item than any scooter should have!

	Carbon fibre isn't just a fad, it is strong and VERY light. We have these tax-disc holders made in carbon lookalike. They are not heavy, they are very neat and suit most road-race scooters and are a nice finishing touch to any scooter whether it be standard, road-race or tuned.

	As time goes on we try to introduce new improved products. One such product is the much improved Mikuni carburettor. We used these carbs in 1987 with good effect. The quality is superior. The one on the left is the TMX35 flatslide carb and the one on the right is the TM30 powerjet carb.	MBM0001 Mikuni TMX35 carb MBM0002 Mikuni TM30 carb
