As you know you seized the motor. It looks pretty toasted. What else did you expect?

AGAIN..you are not going to get much advice regarding a Vintage 2T on MB.

This forum is generally geared towards people that ride Modern CVT Genuine Scooter Company scooters as well as modern 2T and 4T Stellas.

Yeah... I'm into vintage..and Buddys...but even among scooterists I'm a bit weird.

Hmmm, your way seems to be denial about posting vintage scooter questions on a vintage scooter site. I have now seen 8 or 9 separate posts with suggestions from others that you use the "Not so modern" forum at Modern Vespa or another vintage forum for good feedback on issues regarding vintage bikes. Is there something going on that I don't understand?

At least post it under the "Stella Discussion" those freaks over there might be of some use.

Actually the same messages have been cross-posted on the General Discussions Forum of Modern Vespa and moved by the moderators to the Not-So-Modern Forum.

It's toast. Throw the whole bike away. Buy a bicycle.
"Stella" is Latin for "use threadlocker on all fasteners"
