Perfect.

How satisfying finding a fault that only cost time!

Re: Lighting circuit problem

If you read the blue book there is a section on fault finding the charging circuit. I would say that 12.5 volts across the battery at 5k rpm is a bit low. Your regulator may be faulty.

You may want to check the earthing points, too.

Re: Best 31/2 cam for all-round flexibility?

This is good info.

A Sport piston with a Strada cam is a good option.

I know the 501 nikisil barrels do not fit an500 crankcase, but do the 350 nikisil barrels fit an earlier 350 crankcase?

Re: Best 31/2 cam for all-round flexibility?

Sport cam was used from the first sports up until the later K series bikes where they moved to the M cam. There should be an S Stamped in the cam between the middle lobes, not so helpful if the engine is together, but easy to check what cam you have by measuring with a timing disc. None of the Mori...

Re: Reinstating the electric starter part 2

I would not think Morini could afford a different casing.

Has the linkage been changed, do you have rear sets?

Of course, I could be wrong, not unknown!

Re: 250 anybody?

This one is a bit sad. The provenance is rather lacking. I could understand if it were the bike that came second in the World Championships.

Re: Bottom end strip

Hi, 1. The nuts should be recessed in nut shaped holes. 2. You will probably need to drill out the crankshaft bolts if they do not yield. No idea from where they can be obtained. Re use the old ones if not damaged. 3. Use the special tools, the nut is ft (fantastically tight!). Butchering a socket w...

Re: Oil pump seal variation in sizes/mdina part different?

I have used the black one but I prefer the old green one. Check the green one carefully, obviously not worth the risk if it is worn.

250 anybody?

Does this increase the value of my Morini? A 250 single going for a ridiculous price, whatever next?

Don't discount importing an Excalibur from Spain, if you see one.

Re: Best 31/2 cam for all-round flexibility?

The Excretia had a J cam. The 501 with a J cam is a torquey beast but it starts getting wheezy at the top end. My 501 would pull well from 30 mph in 6th gear.
