Made in Italy from 1954
Franco Morini engines have been used by numerous manufacturers including:
Morini Franco Automatic S5 Engine 50cc
This engine was used by many motorcycle manufacturers from the 1960's up to 2001 and has the kick-start lever operating forward.
Manufacturers that have used this engine are as follows: Italjet/Indian, Malaguti, LEM, KTM, Husqvarna, DBM, Young Rider plus many others.
In the early 1990's the engine was also developed for more power, this included 2 and 4 reed valve cylinders with larger cooling fins and carburettors (S5GS). Manufacturers which have used this engine include Husqvarna, KTM (pre 2001), LEM, Rivara and DBM.
The Husqvarna version of this engine was fitted with an O-ring head gasket & thicker base gasket in later years.

Franco Morini FM 128
I have a new in the box, FM128 purchased from Herdan in the USA. For sale, best offer. I'm located in the USA, Chicago, IL.
Thank you very much,
I don't have any pictures, the FM-128 is new in the box. I thought about getting some pics, but figured people interested would know exactly what it was. Bought it for my nephew, but the family decided he wasn't skilled enough to race around w/ it on a mountain bike. It's sat around in the box in my den for a few years, so I decided to offer it up to the community. I paid $495 new, but would take anything over $300.
[francobicycle.jpg]
Mine is brand new, same as pic, no blue sticker on the side.

Franco Morini is a relative (cousin I think) of Alfonso Morini who made the wonderful bikes under his own name. I don't know of anyone who does spares, but you could try the factory itself:
Morini Franco Motori
Via Porrettana 377
40033 Casalecchio di Reno
Bologna Italy
Tel: (051)57 1257
Fax: (051)577048
Franco Morini makes small capacity two strokes for use in scooters and small mopeds. They have just produced a 125cc air cooled four stroke single, single overhead cam, two valves, six speeds. May be used by Piaggio and Gilera.
