A friend of mine spotted this little Moto Guzzi single motor at a swap meet this weekend and picked it up for me, Thanks Harold!
This is out a Moto Guzzi Galleto 192, the scooter would have looked like this

scooter was long gone but the seller hung onto the motor, spins, has some compression, I plan on opening it up, cleaning it up a bit and just make a stand to admire it.
I just plugged the openings and threw the whole thing in my vapour blaster to make it shine

I downloaded the parts manual and service manual off the internet to review, its a pretty cool little motor, typical Guzzi practicality, wish I could find the scooter, that single sided swing arm is so cool, it is a very well built small bike.

Isn't that adorable? (how come we don't have a heart emoticon??)
I knew of a guy who would find parts for an old bike and put it together one piece at a time. The first part, I think, was a cylinder head. Forget what the first one was, but it was something rare from the 30s I think.
Here's to you finding the rest of the project!

I once restored a 1973 V7 Sport starting with only the frame, VIN Tag and an engine block, I had to cut off the side car lugs that were welded to the frame

After a little elbow grease and a few hundred Ebay purchases

I think I only lost about $1K on it, a success in my book. :azn:
If I could find a Galletto project I would grab it sight unseen!

I would LOVE a Galleto! I think it's one of the coolest looking bikes they made.

The 160 engine I worked on looks a lot different.

I downloaded the Galletto manuals, amazing number of pdf files available here for many early Italian motorcycles:

It appears the crankshaft is supported from one side only, never seen that before. Its a match to the single sided rear swing arm!

The old Villiers two strokes were only supported on one end as well. DonG
