MRC Forum- brought to you by www.morini-riders-club.com

I have been running Trailriders for over a year and around 7000 Km on a Coguaro. Front 3.00 x21 Akront rim 21” 1.85 Rear 110 80 x18 Akront rim 18” 2.5 These replaced Avon Distazias. It’s my understanding these were 50/50 road/offroad whilst the Trailriders are 90/10. I changed my rear sprocket from ...

Well done- a good solution. No lathe for me unfortunately.

Hi John
I have made a few cables up for various bikes and had to get “ferrule sleeves” from Venhill who list two, N8 (8mm) and M10 (10mm) which fit over the larger nipple at the lever. Not sure if this is what you need?

Good squirts of releasing fluid won’t go amiss either. I have taken to using a very small amount of Rocol Dry moly burnished onto the threads.

Those are much more effective than the earlier type, as you should discover.

Mine had 175 ohms and ran OK but was not the easiest starter. Since a rewind in 2008 it has been OK.
I ought to measure the resistance from time to time U suppose.
Still you have a spark. Will it bump start? Did you fling out the contents of the float bowls? Any evidence of water?

That is not my experience with my Sport nor my BMW airheads. If it can crank a pair of 500cc cylinders in Winter it ought to be good enough for a Morini. Is it fully charging?

I have fortunately acquired a replacement drive but will try and repair the worn one.

If it won’t pull top with a 40t rear it’s never going to pull a 38t. Get those carbs rebuilt check carefully the jets and atomiser specs and verify fuel taps are free flowing. Check needles don't look too corroded or worn and no muck in the floatbowls. Eurocarb sell rebuild kits. Watch Paul Compton’...

Just wanted to add my thanks for organising the event. I thought the evening meal was very good too. Bread and butter pudding seemed the right choice back when the weather was less like Cordoba.( OK not that hot but I don't wear bike gear when there) The shower room was by Sunday an opportunity not ...

I have now joined the worn tacho club. Very interested in the repair idea. Have pm’d about the square bar as have nothing here.

I used RAL1036 for my gold rear wheel. If they had removed all traces of blast material it would be a good job.Do not mention disc mounting bolt holes.
My sprocket carrier bearing had broken up too.

I also use a syringe to refill the starter gearbox on my 350. I have a screw in plug and badly fitting rubber push in plug. In the Blue book p28 it describes checking the oil level with the motor still in the side cover. I have always done it after removing the motor from the case, remove both plugs...

Keep up John! Reading the latest MOT guidance the year of manufacture limit for the motorcycle ( converted to LED) has been removed. The light pattern must pass of course.

I have had instrument bulb holders drop out when hitting a pothole so not unusual. Pity about that light pattern. My concave Cibie is fine, or it was last time I rode a distance in the dark. Another bike has twin 35W bulbs. Seems a bit pathetic too . I did not update to LED on that bike because it’s...
