Ok I know that this is going to sound silly, but I need to get my Cucciolo back up and running for an event early this summer.
We pulled it out of the shed and confirmed spark and compression, but the carb is gummed up and will need to be stripped and cleaned ultrasonically.
However what is apparent is that the exhaust seal into the head has rotted away!
Does anyone know where one might find a supplier of exhaust seals, I already know that it doesn't come in a gasket kit! It looks like it is about the 25mm OD size. I checked the parts manual and it looks as if I want the compressable copper sort with "asbestos" up the middle.
