reverse-engineering thru impractical use

 

 

What’s the point in aiming for reliability and performance when engine seizure and other assorted failures are easier to obtain?  Nothing like an engine meltdown on the open road to test the mettle of your undergarments.

 

Italian scooters and small cars are ideal candidates for this kind of abuse, partly because the parts are cheap(ish), partly because as underpowered sacks they need all the help they can get, and partly because an Italian motor in a smoking mess on the side of the road just seems so apt.

 

But there are times when the perfect equation becomes a little one-sided and the damn things actually work for a period long enough to make some notes (on how to avoid that reliability next time).
