      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.

        I used new seals, new bearings and it started right up.

        Here is a video of the first start up.

        I really want to thank Herr Flick for his assistance, time and of course spare parts. I really love that this forum is so active and many people still run, maintain and tune ciaos, Si and Bravos.

        Thank you all for the replys too!

        Best regards from Greece!

          SuperSi yes. Air is comming through, even with the inlet closed by the crankshaft. I believe since it is a metal to metal contact, an airtight seal is very hard.

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

          Been testing the carb though, different combinations since now I have a 39,4mm piston!

            I put everything back, but It doesn’t look good. Still no power at all at low revs. I am calling this a fail.

            Hope it works out for you! If it doesnt work I can send you (free) carter with a nice inlet.

            Please add me on facebook to give you my details. Also if you have any other part available, I am willing to pay for it. I am on the lookout for vario parts, especially for gears.

            Thank you for your help.

              So this is what I got from the shop. The bubbles tha created the holes, propabpy won’t be a problem (I think).. I will start to put back the motor after I smoothen out the intake a bit.

              Crossing fingers that this will work……

                I talked to a shop repairing engine heads, and he said he might help me. I would try to fix it myself if he can’t help me. JB weld is not available in Greece, and buying online will take time. Post office deliveries suck at this time.

                I have found some products, like aluminum filler material for automotive use, able to withstand gas and oil is my next move. I am afraid because the port is circular!

                I will post here my results.

                Thank you for your assistance and tommorow I will vistit a beach nearby for a swim with the family!

                Best regards

                  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!

                  Also from several photos I have looked, my intake port is already open quite enough from the factory. The crankcase has never been opened before.

                  The weather is getting hotter and hotter here. We are already storming the local beaches on weekends! The covid epidemic has hold us back from taking short trips.
