Is that crankcase induction? Rotary disk valve?

There's something rather attractive about an unrestored machine in good shape!

It'll probably go 45mph, once refreshed. That'll break some speed limits.

I'd guess that the induction is piston-port...

That bike on Miami CL is not running and has no title. It also looks to me as if it has been painted. Notice the painted-over corrosion in many areas.

I have looked at the many photos on line and for the life of me I cannot see the tract entering the cylinder. It looks as though it enters the crankcase at the base of the cylinder.

I would have expected it to be piston ported.

Edit. Found it. The Cardellino was a development of the Motoleggera which had a rotary disc valve. There ya go! :thumb:
