Can anyone please identify the what the engine is from this number, Li150 763169. I cant tie it down for certain. Also tries from casing part number stamps 19.01.0001, 19.01.0005 and 19.01.0051 which is main casing, end plate and mag housing respectively. Thanks.

LI150 Special if it is Italian.

Cheers buddy. I was told it was 1963 series 2 but i found the same as you.

Going by Sticky's book, there is no recess for an oil thrower therefore it is probably an series 1. The book says it could be a TV 2 but the engine has the wrong prefix. Scooter Restorations ran the part numbers for me but they are not on record. All of the numbers are 1 digit different to the same parts as shown in the parts list. Spooky.

Wrong numbers for a S1.

Straight out of Hogwarts this thing. guess it must have been a late shift Friday night job.

I've just bought an engine casing with similar numbers Li 150 722*** and inside it has 19 01 0001 and no recess for an oil thrower , sticky's book ( orange one ) gives conflicting advice as it states in the cranckcase identification chart that the 7 prefix is for Li 125 ser 2 and ser 3 150 specials but at the back of the book in the section about innocenti upgrades and anomalies it refers to Li 150 ser 1 engine no 7****** , so who knows ???
As you say probably just Innocenti using up old stock , I used to own a 1966 150 special that had a chrome ring frame but according to " records " that didn't ever exist , but it did

LI 125 Series 2 has engine No's from 547748 to around 655000 which followed on from Series 1 which started at 500001.

LI 150 Special had engine numbers from around 692000 to end of production (790000 plus).

LI 150 Series 1 had numbering in the 700000 series but is different in position and type to LI 150 Special (actually three different types of numbering was used on S1 engines).
