Hi!
My friend have found an NOS Motoplat electronic ignition, that is prepared to an electric start.
Have you ever seen one?

Well I've seen plenty of mag flanges with a hole for the starter motor, and I even met a guy at a parts fair who claimed to ahve owned an electric start Servetta, but I've never seen one before. Thanks for producing the evidence.

Has anyone else seen the whole thing set-up and running as an electric start Spainard??

I think that this electric start maybe is from a Lambretta Amiga prototype.

Perry Lewis (Wildcat) has I believe one of the few original Lambrettas fitted with an electric start as designed by Lambretta.

I remember going to Len Turners when they were in Rock Ferry about then and seeing one in the shop so I imagine there should be some literature on them somewhere.
