I was hoping that someone out there might be able to identify what model

bike my motor came from. The bike is a 1974 disc eldorado, but the motor

was swapped out years ago. The # stamped on the motor is VG-133863. I
was told by Paul L. when I registeredthe bike on the looplist that the
motor probably came off a tonti frame bike.


 
 Does it have a dual point dist.? 30mm carbs?

Hard to say off hand. I don't have a numbers book. It would be
interesting to know if it is an 850 or 1000cc engine!

How did they swap it out? Did they change the front cover, or is there
an alternator still down there? If so, they would have had to alter the
frame to hold up the engine. I've seen it done.

Can't wait to get off work and go to Italy!!!!!!




When I pulled
 out the spark plug it had oil crud all over it. Any suggestions?
