Service
Laser engines are fully guaranteed for a period of one year from receipt of engine against faulty materials or workmanship in accordance with consumer legislation. The guarantee is void if standard maintenance is not carried out as set out in the operating instructions The guarantee does not cover standard wear and tear, damage caused by misuse, impact, lack of lubrication or overheating which are not within the control of the manufacturers. Engines must be returned post paid. There is no limit on the amount of hours the engine is run during this period. Following the guarantee period there will be a minimum service charge including return postage for the examination of and test of an engine.
ALWAYS PHONE BEFORE RETURNING AN ENGINE
Many problems can be solved with a simple phone call saving
time and expense. When returning your engine please ensure
that the engine is carefully packed and the carburettor is
removed from the engine to prevent damage to the main needle.
SERVICE and REPAIRS
Laser engines are built to the highest standards possible and with standard maintenance will run for many hours without deterioration of performance. With any engine parts may deteriorate with age especially if the engine is not used unless the engine is completely cleaned and inhibited. An engine used regularly will run many more hours than one that is occasionally used. It is not possible to guarantee the performance of an engine following service as this will depend on existing parts, including the carburettor, which are not replaced. The engine cannot be expected to give the performance of a new engine.
LASER 45, 50, 61,62, 75, and 90, 120v, 150v and 180v.
Identified by glow plug angled on front of engine and the
carburettor and silencer secured with set screws. These engines
were built between 1983 and1992. Engines of this age have
only a limited value and are generally not worth servicing.
We cannot offer our fixed price servicing or guarantee the
operation of the engine. Pistons, piston rings and cylinders
are not available. Bearings, crankshafts, connecting rods
(except 180v), valves, springs, collets and retainers can
be supplied. We do not have stocks of Super Tiger carburettors
or spares. The current Irvine type will fit and can be supplied.
Engines built after 1992 are manufactured to a higher specification including fully hardened valvegear and a nitride hardened crankshaft. The cylinders will be chrome or nickel silicon carbide plated. If the engine has been operated and maintained correctly they will last the life of the engine. To keep costs low, the STANDARD SERVICE includes replacement parts that will wear in normal use. If the engine is considered to be in poor condition and unsuitable for service you will be advised and the engine will either be returned at your cost or disposed of after a period of 1 month.
MINIMUM CHARGE
Laser Single Cylinder engines £25.00 + Return post.
Laser-Vee twins (£35.00 + Return post)
Includes bench test and minor work. The cost includes fitting
but does not include any parts required
STANDARD
SERVICE Engines manufactured from 1992
LASER 70, 80, 100, 120 and 150, (£60.00 + Return
Post)
LASER Vee twins 160v, 200v, 240v, 300v and 360v (£75.00
+ Return Post)
Engine stripped down and cleaned as best as possible. Main bearings, compression ring and valve springs replaced. Valves cleaned and reseated. Carburettor stripped and cleaned. Engine test run and carb reset.
Laser engines built before 1992
We regret that we are not now able to offer service on engines built before 1992. the engines are Laser-45, 50, 61, 62 75 90 and 120v, 150v and 180v
The engines can be identified by the glow plug set at an angle on the front of the cylinder head and the carburettor and silencer will be held in position by 2 set screws.
Many spares are still available such as bearings, connecting rods, valve springs, collets and crankshafts. We do not have cylinders, pistons or rings. Complete new Laser carburettors are available but we do not have spares for the Super Tiger carburettors originally fitted.
There are many of these engines still giving good reliable service and we would recommend that they are used as much as possible. If they become unreliable they can be replaced by a similar engine from our current range.
Engines are often left for long periods without being properly
laid up with engine oil and become solid. A great deal of
time is needed to dismantle and clean these engines plus the
cost of replacement parts. Due to the age and residual value,
servicing is not cost effective and could not be guaranteed.
