A Brief History of the Marque
Made in Calderara di Reno, Bologna, Italy, 1974-83 and then in the nearby town of Kola Predosa.
Engines were mostly 50cc and 65cc Minarelli and Franco Morini, and in the 1980s the majority of models were for junior MX and trials.
Later the company partnered with Italjet, and in 2017 produced a variety of pitbikes and minimotos up to 150cc along with electric motorcycles.
The company website includes a short history of the marque: lem-motor.it

Dear Sheldon's Please can you help me identify which Morini Franco 50cc engine this is. I bought the bike for my son, its a Lem 50, two-stroke , manual gears , kick-start goes backwards. The piston rings need replacing and I want to source the correct kit. Any help would be fantastic. Best wishes Cris

Stops running after choke released
2003 Lem 50 LX1
Franco Morini engine S5E with Dellorto carb. Starts up and runs
with choke on, as soon as you release choke engine stalls. I've cleaned,
checked carb, gaskets, intake, etc. all seems ok. If I choke with
my hand it tries to stay running. Please help! Thanks!
Ed: Common cause is lean mixture. This could be main bearing seals.
