1949 Guzzino

[ric riccardi]

I have a Guzzino or maybe a Leggero (65cc) that runs rough. Can someone recommend oil/gas mix ratio; and should I use synthetic oil???

[Scott DeRoss]

I have one. 50 to 1 ratio is best. No synthetic oil. The running rough could be other things. e-mail me for more info. [e-mail]

Sorry I cannot help but thanks for the question because I am looking for one to restore.
I think I have found one that I may get if you look in my photos.
Is there a way I can tell what exact year it is by the serial number?

Hey Steve,
I looked at your Guzzino pic and it looks great; mine is an original and has not yet gone through a restoration and probably will not. I'm not aware of how to tell the year on these things, as they had very few changes throughout the production cycle.

Scott...don`t use synthetic oil on your bike use mineral oil.
There may be a filler in the petrol cap. It takes a filler of oil to 5ltrs of fuel.....I think.

Hi Ric,

I got the bike home to Denmark from the Uk this weekend. It has no working lights although the dynamo is producing power. The wiring has never been replaced so that is the first job. The front brake is binding so that is another job. I will be stripping all the paint off it during the winter and having it sprayed the original colour in the Spring.

Do you have e-mail addresses that I can find parts for the Cardellino? Drop me a line with some photos of your bike. lindley "at" privat.dk. If you send me the frame and engine number of your bike I will try and tell you what year it is.
