What a beautiful engine with an ingenious 3-speed gearbox! It is very special that people made such beautiful things at that time. Very good film of the restoration!
@@michaelb.42112 Yes it is an amazing little engine. The quality way better than anything made today. But I wouldn't say it was ahead of its time. Remember the Vespa came out in 1946. It's just that back then people did things right.
My 1970's Garelli Tiger-Cross 50cc moped , 4 speed gearbox, was very similar in operation. It used the same sort of plunger to push out the balls to engage each gear, although the balls were extended with short rods.
In a next video I will put it into operation because this video is released very long. In the next video I will restore the bike, the tank and the crown, and of course I will mount everything to try it
You are right! But in this period I took advantage of the good weather to enjoy an outdoor video, where I started another car stopped for several years. Of this video one part will be released in a few days and the other in August. The video of the engine mounted on the bike unfortunately will be released in October
what a beautiful little engine - why can't they still be made like this today. You have to admire the engineers who designed this in the first place - truly incredible.
Emissions is one of the biggest reasons. This thing is a 2 stroke which means three things: an absurd power to weight ratio, mechanical simplicity, and pretty lousy emissions. You just can't make an EFI four stroke (mandatory for modern emissions controls) that matches it for simplicity and lightness.
@@ironhead2008this. This is the reason why you dont really see two strokes on the road anymore (dirt bikes dont go on the road as you know) even though they were all the rage in the 70’s. Even though 2 strokes are a lot more efficient than then used to be in the past, their prime has passed.
My God, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen. I had NO IDEA these mods were available when Roswell happened. How ahead of their time. 60cc on a bicycle is INSANELY fast !!!! I would've given up 1982 Christmas to have one of these !!!
@@trentbikes By today's standards maybe, and by motorbike or automotive standards as well too. Try you going at that speed on a simple pedal bike (not a modern one with disk brakes and large tires, but one of the late 40/50, with brakes on the rim of thin wheels) at that speed without shitting yourself, I dare you. I would shit myself going at that speed on a modern pedal bike.
Speaking of Italian build quality, I bet that little motor will outlast 100 of those China 80cc bicycle motors they sell online today. Italians make some fine engines. Minarelli motor in my rough house moped is the strongest 50cc there ever was unmodded.
A trick I learned back in the day to time an engine with breaker points is to find an AM transistor radio and tune it between stations so all you hear is static, when the points fire you will hear a tick from the speaker
I'm engineering technologist i was watching yours hands how you was using the tools, for me your gasket cutting greasing oiling and seating the engine covers were fantastic.
Коробка передач с шариковой фиксацией - это, конечно, гениально. Нигде ничего подобного на современной технике не видел. Подозреваю, что из-за ограниченности передаваемого крутящего момента, а также из-за развития традиционного вилочного механизма с бронзовымм синхронизаторами. Однако по меркам 40-х годов, когда даже на машинах обычным делом была КПП на 3 передачи без синхронизации, которая требовала двойной выжим сцепления для плавного переключения без рычания и хруста, вот такой компактный механизм 3-ступенчатой КПП был действительно гениальным решением. Ведь, из-за отсутствия угловатых элементов (таких как шлицы для зацепления шестерни с валом) передачи должны включаться мягко, а для их смены не нужно даже нажимать сцепление. Плюс, управление с помощью всего одного штока, расположенного внутри вторичного вала, делает весь механизм компактным.
Откуда там взяться "мягкости" включения)?Если не угадал,будет тот же хруст.единственный плюс таких механизмов-компактность.Слабенькая схема.А чтоб КПП прощала хоть как-то грубое включение тут уже нужен демпфер на сцеплении.А здесь дальше скорее всего была ременная передача,и могла работать,как сцепление.Увидим в продолжении,что там и как.
@@kotborka именно хруста в таком механизме в принципе не будет, потому что хруст - это когда шлицы вала и шестерни друг по другу скачут, но не могут зацепиться. А тут нет шлицов, потому что вместо них шары. Если механизм слишком быстро крутится в момент переключения - на переключателе (ножка там или рукоятка - хз) просто будет ощущаться сопротивление до того момента, как скорость вращения достаточно снизится, чтобы шток продвинулся и затолкал шар в пазы.
@@kotborka хруста там не будет в принципе. Потому что хруст - это когда угловатые детали скачут друг по другу. А шары круглые, выемки тоже. Я не пробовал такую трансмиссию, но опыт подсказывает, что при переключении передач на повышенных оборотах будет просто изменение тональности звука, до снижения до приемлемой скорости вращения. Это какая-то секунда, что не сравнить с хрустом вилочного механизма, который при спонтанном переключении без сцепления (да, я пробовал - на той же ВАЗ 2109 переключаться так можно, но при тонком подходе) может звучать несколько секунд и сопровождаться скруглением шлицов, которое вскоре приведет к выбиванию передачи.
@@nz3230 Молодой ещё,зеленый))!Шарики хоть и круглые,но пока не зайдут в зацепление,удары неизбежны,и будет это чем-то похоже на отбойный молоток или дрель с ударом,если включать грубо без сцепления.Да,можно и без сцепления тихо переключаться,особенно вверх,на разгоне.Но во-первых,нужна кулачковая коробка,чтоб были хорошие зазоры между кулачков,чтоб передачу можно было втыкать при некоторой разнице в скорости шестерен,нужен демпфер в сцеплении,чтоб сглаживать неизбежные удары,и кпп авто с их шлицевыми муфтами ,сидящими на шлицах почти без зазора практически не подходят для этого.А вот на мотоциклах вполне можно ездить без сцепления,или почти без.На разгоне даже газ обычно не сбрасывается,только чуть выжимается сцепление и передача сама входит).На снижении скорости приходится играть с перегазовками,иначе не включишь.Но можно.Так что хоть округло,хоть угловатое,но это железо)),удары неизбежны.

I am impressed with your skill and even more with your attention to detail, most impressed ... thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for restoring these older machines ...
Great close up shots in video! I like how you showed the process of restoring the parts, and I'm surprised that instead of oil , grease was used in the engine.
Thank you! Grease was used because oil seals had not yet been invented. In fact, the fat being more viscous than oil makes it more difficult to get out of the holes. If you see the point where I take the breaker contact plate off, below it is a kind of brass washer and a felt pad, not an oil seal, just because they didn’t exist yet
@ 7:50 bread works best in this application…💪🏼👍🏼 when I can not remove the thrust bearing from the back of a crank shaft, I will use some small pieces of bread and a brass punch at almost the same diameter and with no heat it’ll pop right out. Cheers!! I hope this helps💪🏼🙏🏻❤️
Thank you! For the moment I have found only those nests. Perhaps because the engine was for several years on that shelf and the place where it is located is very hot in summer
Ah, sweet memories of childhood. I remember mounting such one on a Mishutka children bike, so my mom would allow me to store it in our small apartment, because the motorbike would be too big to fit in the elevator. Technically, you could wheelie it in, if it weren't for the exhaust... Ended up renting a garage.

Thank you for the compliments! in the continuous of this video I will make a conservative restoration also on the bicycle and I will mount the engine to try it etc
Thank you! That shape of the piston is called a deflector, helps the escape of the combusted mixture and was used on the old two-stroke engines, where a lot of oil was used in the mixture because the oil at that time was of poor quality so you had to use more to get a good lubrication. This engine uses a mixture with 8% oil (in a liter of gasoline should be added 80ml of oil!)
Dans mon enfance, juste après la guerre, il y avait plein de petits constructeurs de moteurs pour vélos, qui utilisaient un galet pour entraîner un pneu par frottement. A 12 ans, en 1960, j'avais ainsi fait un petit tour sur le vélo motorisé du père d'un copain de mon âge, avec un moteur Garelli. On était loin du vélo à moteur des frères Werner de 1898, dont un seul est encore en état de rouler et que j'ai eu le plaisir de voir tourner en 1986 sur le circuit du Bois-Guyon à Dreux.

Всё шикарно сделано, за исключением одного момента! Нельзя класть столько смазки! То же самое- попробуйте наложить под завязку, в редуктор угло шлифовальной машины! Это приведёт к перегреву и повышенному износу ! Но в этом видео, главное «лайки», а не грамотность сборки!
You can’t see it clearly from the video, but there are a lot of empty spaces in the crankcase that are not occupied by grease. Also consider that during operation the grease will tend to melt and this will leave even more space
@@Ego.Reficio Жаль,что по сути уплотнений нет и нельзя залить жидкое масло.Хотя если постараться,то можно крышки доработать и установить современные резиновые самоподжимные манжеты и заливать обычное масло.
In my country (Hungary) there was a bike engine called Dongó from 1955-1957. I was almost like a Garelli Mosquito except it had a cast iron piston, a more modern throttle lever and a hungarian made carburetor. Because of this thing they call any bike engine in my country a Dongó.
packing bearings with wadding to push them out is something an old bloke showed me on my rally runabout engine back in 1972-3, I was amazed at how easy they came out after I had struggled for ages trying everything I could think of, I was only 12 - 13 at the time but that lesson stuck with me, This guy making his own condenser ! anyone who wasn't totally absorbed with this video is brain-dead,
Awesome. For those who don't know this they actually still produce bicycle motor kits to this day. Basically a similar design but just made in china. They can work great, last a while, costs $100 or less on average for an entire kit too
Damn, that new condensor in the old housing was pretty cool! Also finally someone who uses a proper spark plug from Magneti Marelli (one of the best manufactuerers of spark plugs), not totally unfitting NGK.
@@Ego.Reficio No, I should have specified that in my original post. We use the recycled beer can ones from China. They are very similar but the quality isn’t even close. They aren’t bad once you now what to address when you get them.
I understand. I’ve never had one of those made in China, but I think they’re still fun to use. How do you solve the problem of having the license plate and the insurance, in order to move on the street?
@@Ego.Reficio in my state( Ma. ) As long as the engine is under 50 cc, it’s considered a moped and doesn’t require registration or insurance. My engine is 66 cc but I have a sticker that says otherwise. They really are super fun and much cheaper than electric. Well, for now at least.
Thank you! You’re right, it’s not my first rebuild. I’ve been enjoying restoring small engines and more for several years now, it’s just lately that I’ve decided to make videos to show them
From the video, it's not very clear, but in the engine casing, there are many empty spaces not occupied by grease. Also, consider that with heat, the grease tends to become liquid and leaves even more space
my comment is somewhat different, for the time period this engine is a well engineered piece of equipment. simple yet efficient, we always thought Italian stuff was cheap trashy and nasty. now as an old man I look at this engine with different eyes. Italian's did really well with what they had after the war, hats off to them.
There were many such motors in post-WW2 Europe each with different levels of technical refinement most being very basic. By the second half of the 1950s, most fell by the way-side as living standards began to improve but from the technical perspective, I think they remain interesting.
And all using low-cost and readily available tools, chemicals, and materials as well! Quite valuable to the broke among us. Would have loved to see/hear it run, better yet, mounted and functioning as intended. Thank you for making and posting this! One suggestion: on-screen graphic of generic description of what is shown- for example: “soft brush scrub with phosphoric acid-based cleaner” or “must use brass-bristled wire brush wheel to minimize scoring of cast aluminum”, or “kerosene, mineral spirits, or parts cleaner in ultrasonic cleaner” - would also be very helpful to the novice or beginner. Just a thought.
Thank you! The video does not end like this, there will be another video where I mount it on the bike that you see on the cover and start it. I didn’t put this part in this video because otherwise it would come out too long. For adding a more accurate description, thank you for the advice, but from the statistics of each video, the subtitles, and then the description of what I do /use, is seen very little

I have also seen slightly dampened bread used for that as well.
bread also works for this, watch out though, you can punch a hole through the engine case

grease is the more accepted way. you wrap more or less electrical tape around the thread of the bolt to improve the seal.

I'm surprised he managed to find replacement bugs for the exhaust pipe.
разобрал-очистил-собрал. шедевр!
Thank you!
10:00 Ah yes the forbidden coca-cola
My wife and I have these on our bikes and ride them all over place.
Do you have the same kind of engine?
@@Ego.Reficio No, I should have specified that in my original post. We use the recycled beer can ones from China. They are very similar but the quality isn’t even close. They aren’t bad once you now what to address when you get them.
I understand. I’ve never had one of those made in China, but I think they’re still fun to use. How do you solve the problem of having the license plate and the insurance, in order to move on the street?
@@Ego.Reficio in my state( Ma. ) As long as the engine is under 50 cc, it’s considered a moped and doesn’t require registration or insurance. My engine is 66 cc but I have a sticker that says otherwise. They really are super fun and much cheaper than electric. Well, for now at least.
Great, so you can use it without problems!
this man loves his grease
Oglądałem ten film i nie mogłem się doczekać kiedy odpalisz ten silnik i się nie doczekałem😢
There will be another video where I will start the engine. I still have to restore the bike, the tank and the crown
Аккуратно, без спешки.. и отличный результат!
Thank you!
Always put those piston retainers in there with the gap either up or down. Put in that way, it is possible to dislodge them at high RPM.
Now THAT was a well-made video. And a nice little engine. Seems to be not your first rebuild. Nice.
Thank you! You’re right, it’s not my first rebuild. I’ve been enjoying restoring small engines and more for several years now, it’s just lately that I’ve decided to make videos to show them
@@Ego.Reficio I am really interested to see the finished product. That valve and actuator on the head intrigue me...
Stay tuned!
Trabajo impecable! Felicitaciones! Yo 1948😊
Thank you!
What is the purpose of filling the engine compartments with grease?
Great video thanks.
I did this because the gears need to be lubricated, and because the engine doesn’t mount the oil seals yet, the oil can’t be used
@@Ego.Reficiomy grandpa said dont feel bearings and gears more than 1/3 with grease to let mechanisms go freely...
From the video, it's not very clear, but in the engine casing, there are many empty spaces not occupied by grease. Also, consider that with heat, the grease tends to become liquid and leaves even more space
Thanks for sharing. This was fantastic.
Thank you instead!
Very good work,and amazing engine,greetings from Greece
Thank you!
An engine like this one is still built today. As witness, I have a black Genesis beach bicycle converted to gas. It is 80cc.
I use a modern two-stroke! It's erasing spec, over square and it's the phantom 85 V3. My 26-in beach cruiser can go 50 mph.
Is this engine also made in China?
Excelente, didactico, Profesional. Un trabajo admirable
Thank you!
Very nice video, Very good workmanship!!! Good Job.
Thank you ❤
my comment is somewhat different, for the time period this engine is a well engineered piece of equipment.
simple yet efficient, we always thought Italian stuff was cheap trashy and nasty. now as an old man I look at this engine with different eyes.
Italian's did really well with what they had after the war, hats off to them.
There were many such motors in post-WW2 Europe each with different levels of technical refinement most being very basic. By the second half of the 1950s, most fell by the way-side as living standards began to improve but from the technical perspective, I think they remain interesting.
That’s correct. I think like you about the interest these little engines have
Sir make vintage engine restoration video
forbidden caramel sauce
-Really nice rebuild! ❤
Thank you! ❤
Отличная работа отличная реставрация 👍👍👍👌 хотелось бы услышать звук мотора.
In the next video😉
@@Ego.Reficio Ok
A joy to watch👍🏻
Magneti marelli é mesmo de renome 👏👏👏
Cade ele funcionando??!!!!
Quero ver!
Ficou lindo 👏🏻
Thank you! I’ll make another video where I’ll put it on the bike and try it out
Great job. Shame couldn't see it running
In the next video you will see😉
Cool motor
ਇੰਜਣ ਚਾਲੂ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਤਾਂ ਸਬਸਕਰਾਈਬ ਅਤੇ ਲਾਈਕ ਹੋਰ ਜਿਆਦਾ ਹੋਣੇ ਸੀ। ਵੀਡੀਓ ਵੇਖਣ ਦਾ ਮਜਾ ਅਧੂਰਾ ਰਹਿ ਗਿਆ।
The motor will be started in a next video because I still have to restore the bike, the tank and the crown
Very nice! Thank you!
And all using low-cost and readily available tools, chemicals, and materials as well! Quite valuable to the broke among us. Would have loved to see/hear it run, better yet, mounted and functioning as intended. Thank you for making and posting this! One suggestion: on-screen graphic of generic description of what is shown- for example: “soft brush scrub with phosphoric acid-based cleaner” or “must use brass-bristled wire brush wheel to minimize scoring of cast aluminum”, or “kerosene, mineral spirits, or parts cleaner in ultrasonic cleaner” - would also be very helpful to the novice or beginner. Just a thought.
Thank you! The video does not end like this, there will be another video where I mount it on the bike that you see on the cover and start it. I didn’t put this part in this video because otherwise it would come out too long. For adding a more accurate description, thank you for the advice, but from the statistics of each video, the subtitles, and then the description of what I do /use, is seen very little
Excellent work
È proprio un bel canale, grazie.meglio quei tempi che quelli odierni, secondo il mio punto di vista.voi che ne pensate?!
Thank you! I think they were very different from our times. For some things they were better for others not. Surely they were a fascinating time
Sir tell me about the gear box of this engine
This engine does not use a clutch; it has a three-speed transmission, and to change gears, you just need to decelerate the engine
Always cut the holes out of a gasket first can easily split if close to the edge when punching them out nice job though
Perfect job...
Even got a Magneti Marelli spark plug.👍
excelente laburo
The inside is clean thanks to the large amount of grease.
Very nice and videos form my india🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 bro❤❤❤❤ so love you ❤❤much
Thank you! ❤️
