Hi, I got this bike from a friend and need help to identify it. I know its got a Polini engine in it, but can't find any markings on the chassis. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks

Its a Polini 910 steel. Nice bike by the way.

... look exactly , it's no genuine Polini 910 steel, GP or GP2 steel frame .

( the frame is abslolutly different, the front brake disk is China ; te tail is different, frame is too long, frame form generally is different, fork plates diff. , swingarm .... and so on ).

Look at your engine , Polini brands on ( case, cyl / stamp with nr ( 315 or 323 / 323a ...)

Before I had to write so much more , look yourself at the attachments

( the two other steel versions : GP steel & gp2 steel I can send per mail, because they are to big for the attachment)

Welcome to the planet.

Great looking bike.

Here are the pics of the Motor I have. Its definitely Polini, on the head it says Junior 2004. And the guy I bought it from says the chassis is a GRC but I can't find any that look even remotely like that.

as Driver D pointed out, The frame is probably a China rep frame. I really doubt it's a GRC, not like any Ive ever seen anyways, and nothing like mine. The engine looks to be a Polini 40cc A/C. Could be a 50cc, not sure. Nice bike.

I took some pics of the bodywork too. not sure if any of these will help.

Also is there a way I can tell what size the engine is? Will there be markings that specify what it is?

 

[MathieuOuellette]

Diameter of piston and cylinder will tell you, inside there will be markings on the bottom of the cylinder/ inside the piston.

...The engine looks to be a Polini 40cc A/C. Could be a 50cc, not sure.

Polini had never produced a 50cc A/C

by genuine Polini Cyl. must a brands name or sign on it and on the right side a nr code 3xx ( outside !!)

- if you want to know how many cc ( genuine or not ) ... open the top ( head ) and measure

 

[2wcp]

I'll pull the head off in a minute. There is Polini markings on both sides of the engine and on the head. It has a 323 code on it.

 

[MathieuOuellette]

323 suggests its a Polini 6.2HP a/c motor. 39cc.

 

[CAM2]

Thats a very old Blata Elite series pocketbike with a Polini 6.2 aircooled engine...........

 

[driver D]

323 = 3-port / 4.2
323a = 5-port / 6.2

 

[driver D]

Thats a very old Blata Elite series pocketbike with a Polini 6.2 aircooled engine...........

no.... sorry, the Blata Elite 11 ( with the A/C Polini motor )
has the same frame as the following Elite 13 ... but this one on the pic's has absolutely nowhere else resemblance with a Blata frame.

re motor : the Elite 11 had the old one 315 ( 4.2) inside .
After that Blata produced his own motor and built in .

Later Polini changed the 315 into the "new" junior version titled 323 for the Polini, GRC bikes

 

[2wcp]

The bottom of the cylinder has the markings 4k C. And the piston has 2863 4 Polini on the bottom of it.

 

[MathieuOuellette]

How many ports in the cylinder?

 

[EPR]

Well, it looks like your the proud owner of a air cooled Polini Euro bike, made in Italy,lol.
