This Fantic Gran Turismo TX220 Super Six had been restored a few years ago. It was mechanically tired having taken part in several long moped runs in England, Ireland and France.
The restoration was OK, but many of the original specification parts and factory settings had been 'lost or forgotten', so it was time for a complete refresh.
The cylinder was treated to a new Nicasil lining by Langcourt, the crankshaft was rebuilt by Grampian, a brand new Asso piston was sourced from Germany, the gearbox was stripped and rebuilt with all new bearings and seals, the carburettor was stripped, cleaned and rebuilt and the correct main jet fitted. The under-seat air intake was missing completely, so a new item was fitted, along with the correct air filter and a new air pipe. The front brake caliper was seized, so a new old stock item was fitted, complete with new brake pads.

This video features part of a 45 mile test ride, running-in the new piston, Dykes ring, cylinder and the freshly rebuilt gearbox, bedding in the new disc brake pads and generally checking that everything worked properly. The rev counter had never worked so this needs to go for a specialist repair.
