Re: Rear Master Cylinder

If you go with the Gemini Karts option do let us know how you get on. It looks promising.

Re: Rear Master Cylinder

From some recent correspondence I had it may be that Brembo PS16 master cylinder can be used however the actuating arm needs modifying or a new arm made to fit. I rebuilt mine in 2008 and I think it will not be long before I need to do something again. This link may help https://www.morini-riders-cl...

Re: Electric starter woe

That is a good result and far better than having to push a Trident with a thrown rod from the Stratton bypass to Broome Manor Lane.
I have had the starter relay weld on once. A deft kick stopped that.

Re: atomiser/emulsion tube.

You can get an available spec 260 then drill out 0.8 mm holes, then ream with a 2.60 reamer to make a U pattern.

Re: Reinstating the electric starter part 2

Try checking the “bits for sale” section at the moment, might be a case in amongst the parts ex Barcelona? It was worth me looking at my gear linkage yesterday. The lever action was stiff. This turned out to be as a result of me trying to take up wear in the pivot bush/ frame using some thin shim me...

Re: Reinstating the electric starter part 2

I have had the exact same K lever just touch the case and cause a selection issue. This simply required adjustment of the linkage. I think a friend had similar last year. If the linkage rod is not a standard length ( I wished I had made a note of that when I made one from stainless steel) or cannot ...

Re: Primary Drive woodruff Key puzzler

That is a nuisance. Has it been out previously? Any evidence of loctite? Guess very local heat might work?

Re: Spares needed: clutch plates, cam belt

If in UK you can get clutch plates and cambelts from MdinaItalia, (if they have any clutch plates in stock). However I get my belts from RS on line- these are not graded by cam pulley size of course. What pulley have you got, A,B or C? Contitech 124 L075. RS stock number is 474-9793. The C type can ...

Re: Instrument bezels and glass

What’s all this “ banned from the garage” business?
Have you not learned to march into the house with muddy boots , switch the heating on because you are cold, change the radio to one you prefer, rip through the fridge leaving a mess in your wake and at a pinch pee on the toilet seat.
Works for me.

Re: Fuel tap overhaul

And that is exactly the system on Airhead BMW and it works perfectly well. On my Morinis one has the electro tap and the other has a vacuum tap. Both run the risk of either leaking fuel into the cylinder/ oil or packing up. How many times have I forgotten to disconnect the wiring prior to removing t...

Re: Cylinder Torque values.

I have not deviated from the instruction in the Blue Book on the three occasions where I have had the barrels off since 2007. This on my K1.
Others may have a different opinion.
I reused my head gaskets last time around though.
