can parts still be found for it?  you got balls, lol.  Reminds me of my first dirt bike at about 12 or 13, Kaw 125, even had a metal fender.  Anyway, I took it apart, could not figure out to put it back together again.  I put it in the trash.  I only had it two weeks too.

What year?  My brother and I had an old Lambretta 150 that was probably a '59 model or thereabouts with a big box on back for carrying stuff.  Couldn't keep the thing in time.  It was almost as likely to crank backwards as forwards.  We even tried pushing it backwards to see how far we could ride in "reverse"  :Dbefore we lost control.  Clutch cable was broken so it was hard to stop.

We were broke, so it also doubled as a dirt bike.

I hope you get it running and have fun with it.

I sure like the unit constructed nature of that drive train.
Italian engineering at it's best.!
Good luck on the rebuild.
I have a 124 Spyder (Fiat), you see.

I used to have a mint Lambretta Jet 200. I was working at a Honda shop back in the late 80s and a guy wanted to trade it in on an Elite 250 but the shop owner didn't want it. I bought it from him for $200 and made the sale on the Elite. I rode it for about a year and then sold it for $1000. It's one of those bikes I kick myself for selling and I hate to even think about what it is worth today. You'll have a blast with it when you get it done.
