So to write a few words about my other tomos: I have one Tomos 03 aka "colibri" wich have an interesting history. I bought it in the city of Bačko Gradište here in serbia,contacted the owner to do the paperwork and asked him about the engine which is fitted on the moped couse I had never seen anything similar here in serbia(and thats exactly the reason why I bought it). In the far past in yugoslavia were times when "we" had lack of fuel,and the amount of gasoline you could buy was limited,and you could buy it only if you had any motorised vehicle!! So this guy bought this tomos to have right for buying more fuel! (5L for a moped monthly) But its engine was not complete,he went to his friend who had a tomos service and fitted parts from an other engine. That engine was left there (in the service) buy a swedish guy who camed to yugoslavia with his tomos (!!!) and his engine failed here,so he (the swedish guy) get fitted a complete other engine made for the yugoslavian market,and he left his engine and probably some money in exchange for the new engine. So thats why there are some strange cylinder,and "sidecover" on the engine I had never seen on any tomos,its an engine for exlusively the swedish market that wasnt originaly fitted on this moped!
