I have no idea about the Guzzi discs but I would first try sending the Morini discs to the 'Disc Doctor'. He does a great job with them and not very costly either.

Pete, if you want to come and look I have a 350 gear cluster or two spare. I have also swapped later Kanguro clusters into my 76 Sport without any issues. I didn't even check to see what the differences were. I'm in South Leicestershire near Lutterworth.

Looks in good condition too. I still have my original so not going to bid on this. I'm surprised no-one has made these yet....

Yes, I think the sizes you've mentioned are correct and the tyres suit majority road riding too.

Thanks for your kind words Paul. Sadly the complainant (aka whinger) is no longer member so even less chance of him or her putting some big boy/girl pants on and meeting us to tell us where we are going wrong. Personally, I can confirm we had a busy weekend and talked ourselves hoarse to stand visit...

Sorry I can't explain the dots or be sure about the number 2. I would personally disregard the dots as either damage from debris in the past or some previous owners marking to keep parts from a particular cylinder together. The spring under the oil ring is as you've read, only for older type pistons...

Jenny, my new pump was from B&B. It was spot on. I have spoken with the owner on the phone and he has a later engine with side points. Sounds like it's a lot faster than mine too!

Yes, all accessable in the primary cover. Mine sounded fine to but it was surviving on splash lube. The pump was stuck solid and the teeth on its drive gear had stripped too. I suspect a 63 would be 9mm but it's easy to strip it and confirm. Then again, from what you've told me I think your engine i...

Look on thr Dutch Morini site for a diy coil rewind. Not difficult, a bit tedious, I doubt the old coil former is salvageable. ah Ming you are very modest, this splendid article is exactly what the O.P would need to rewind the bobbin. The antique grinder a stroke of genius. Based on that I think th...

Hi Jenny, ref the stand spring, on mine it does work on the stand as well as the brake pedal. I was struggling to work out where it hooked to until it all just sort of became clear while giving it a hard stare. If I can get a picture I'll try to show how it goes.

Oh dear, that isn't sounding positive. I will have a spare valve adjuster assuming your rockers etc are ok-mind you, I might have rockers to spare too. Don't get too despondent, these engines are fairly easily worked on and fixed if you can find the parts. And the parts are mostly available too. Let...

That's good to hear-I expect a rush on the new stock and hope there are plenty being made!

That's a surprise and obviously a disappointment too. Mine is really rather good but in a round headlamp without any adaptor bits needed. Tom, if you are retiring your daylighter I'd be happy to try it in my bikes, in the interests of research obvs. I can try in the Camel rectangular lamp and variou...

Hi Mark, yes the return spring is fitted around the stand pivot tube. If you have a good look at the parts list I sent you it should become clear-that's how I worked it out!

Yep, those are the ones you need!
