Is that crankcase induction? Rotary disk valve?

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

Nice. And it comes with a permanent license plate.

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:
