Re: And still, I remain confused...
Fuel remaining at reserve is not a good indicator of range. How much can be used? The tank may not run dry before the fuel stops flowing. Also, do you really want to drain the bottom of the tank, it is probably full of crud which will block the filters on the taps and the carbs and some will find it...

Luckily I did not post in Scotland so no hate crime against Morinis has been committed!

Re: Lighting circuit problem
What is the wattage of the headlight? The alternator chucks out about 140W at high revs. Brake light and two indicators are +/- 60 Watts. Add in your headlight and tail light and what is left has to charge the battery. Run at slower speeds, the output drops. My BMW has a voltage of 14volts with no l...

Re: Kick starting technique
The technique:
Ignition on
Fuel on
Chokes up and
Press button. Electric kick-start is best.

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.
