Yes. It is a recrifier, an ac/dc converter and a voltage regulator along with a 6volt battery.  I use it mainly for my flashers. They are mandatory here. Police doesn’t have any problem with noise or speed (not always!) but flashers are needed.

So finaly after almost 4 months of downtime, my Ciao runs fine. Thanks to the help of Herr Flick. He send me a replacement carter and after putting everything back, it held idle and was able to rev up easily.

The shop although filled up the run down port, the inlet wasn’t airtight when the piston was traveling to TDC.

The shop filled it and the tolerance between inlet and crankshaft is almost 0.05mm. Can’t get any closer than this!

I have found some products, like aluminum filler material for automotive use, able to withstand gas and oil is my…[Lees meer]

Thank you for the reply. I saw the marks when I dissasemble the motor for the second time, after I had replace the crankcase.

Can it be filled somehow? Can a shop repair it with a filler and a lathe? Changing the motor requires, apart from finding one, paperwork to the police!

I would like to believe that it is salvagable!
