In the restoration I want demounting the engine.
Before this operation I'd like to turn on the engine and hear the sound.
What do You think?

During the verify all parts I saw that is missing the switch off.
Yamiya have not this part, and I would know if I can buy only this small part from another vendor.
You know where I can buy this part?

solved,solved,solved,solved,solved,solved,solved,

I checked the question with my friend Riccardo.
Riccardo said me that, probably, there is a hole near  front forks.
Excuse me but for me is difficult to find the tecnical words.
however I insert some picture for better explain.

What do You think?

Maurizio
