charging system

On the 78 Strada the charging system is not delivering the proper voltage reading to the battery. The a/c voltage measured across the two yellow wires from the stator reads very low. With the engine rpms high maybe 13 volts a/c max. Readings from each yellow wire to red is of course low. The stator ...

Re: Doubt about red wire coming out of the alternator

Ah, but the plot thickens. On the 77 Sport with no battery no spark. Installed a new battery there is spark. Hmmm...
Why is this?

Re: Doubt about red wire coming out of the alternator

It's a stock system. I'm new to Morini's and wanted to find out if the bike will still run with a dead battery. For instance, a Boyer on a Norton has to have a certain amount of battery voltage before it will start. Then again Bultaco's have a ignition coil on their stator (like a Morini) and as we ...

Re: Doubt about red wire coming out of the alternator

My alternator is not charging and therefore the battery is very low. Will that affect the running or better yet ignition function?

Re: Doubt about red wire coming out of the alternator

Just curious. Will the engine start with a dead battery or is there a certain amount of voltage needed to operate the electronic ignition?

Re: another new Sport owner 76 or 77?

There is so much great information here. I didn't think about the stem difference due to the fork manufacturer. I guess there is not a lot of printed information available for reference. I have a couple of parts manuals and the blue cover service manual. Morini's are such cool bikes. I presently hav...

Re: another new Sport owner 76 or 77?

Great looking Sport. I recently purchased one seven numbers before yours. Mine is also fitted without clip on bars. It seems that the steering stem part numbers are different on a Sport than a Strada therefore you may need the stem as well as the top plate to complete the conversion or reversion.I a...
