My bro went to an estate sale and bought a 52 ford truck and the guy threw in a couple of old motorcycles and my bro gave me the sprint. I haven't even looked it over good yet but from the second pic I can see what prob put the bike in "storage". I don't know anything about these bikes but I'm gonna dig up some info before I begin working on it.

NOW THAT could be fun :huge:

Harley teamed up with an Italian company to produce these, I'm quite sure, if my facts are straight. that's an Italian engine. I think they offered 'em as 250cc, possibly 125cc and quite possibly a 350cc too. I'm thinking this is a 250cc?

And I think a 2-stroke?

Best of luck with it, and lots of fun ahead!

You've got a cool brother!

350cc Aermacchi and depending on the year, from the AMF-HD-Aermacchi era... Definetly 4-stroke and it sounds magnificient. I had a friend in Italy that bought one new after I graduated from HS in 1971.

Donny, I'm sure you've been told this, but it bears repeating: PLEASE be careful on yr new toy when you get 'er goin'... Would HATE to see anything untoward happen to you.

Thanks for the links :) I think mine is a 1969 so it should be the 350. Unfortionitly the kick start does not work so I tried turning over the motor by pushing the bike in gear,either the clutch is slipping and not letting the motor turn or I have a stuck valve making the bike easy to push due to lack of compresson. When it gets daylight I plan on pulling a few parts off of it to find out what issues the bike has.

Good luck with that thing. Looks like a fun ride, lightweight noisy bike.

Ya gonna make a dresser out of it? :D

You could make it into a fishtank. :D

We only jest out of jealosy.:yes:

That looks like a LOT of fun! Hope its up and running quick

It would make an awesome mailbox.
