Lambretta 125 LD    
Did you know?
It took until 1954 when Innocenti had a model that went over the 100.000 items produced. This was the popular Lambretta 150LD Series 2
   

 

This engine casing is as good as new. A pearl blasting removed all the corrosion. The crankshaft has been balanced out and is already installed using new bearings and oil-gaskets on the shaft. Just above the engine mounts you can see the gear selector. Check this part for wear or damage it can be the reason why your scooter jumps out of gear on heavy load. When to far gone it needs to be replaced. Reassembling the gearbox isn't that difficult but make sure all gears and shims are in the right order.

 

The Dellorto MA18BS7 carburetor consist out of 40 pieces. Handle them with care and give them a good clean and they will work well for another long time. Slides can have some traces of wear but it can work fine. Check the jetting in the table when you're not sure if it is standard. Most jets are still available. A decent set up carb can make a lot of difference. While the parts are dismantled use a new set of gaskets, it will cost you not more than 3€ and it will stop the leaks of the costly gas.
 
Besides mechanical repair there probably be some welding to do on the various chassis parts. Especially the feet rests and leg shield are prone to breaking when badly handled. Get some specialized help when you're not sure what you're doing. Alloy welding isn't that easy before you know you'll end up with more damage than started with.
