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.

Re: Clutch refit issues

When I got one Morini the clutch lacked much feel. I have only been used to friction plates being of a dark colour but these had bright alloy plates with the friction material not looking too worn out. Putting an old rather worn set in from some I had previously removed from another Morini improved ...

Re: Clutch refit issues

Any progress adjusting the clutch actuating arm at the engine? I had to shorten an inner once following a new clutch pack installation.

Re: Starter motor clutch shoes

Mine really improved with a decent AGM battery, a rebuild and new style clutch shoes. Mind you if I remove and then replace the cover it becomes recalcitrant until I have run the bike for a few miles. Must be a slight alignment issue I suppose.

Re: Fuel tap overhaul

New tap is a good option. Maybe try Mdinaitalia or Guzzibits?

Re: What`s your other bike ?

Yes. 44 Watermoor Road 95 2467. That was the number in 1975. Bike was a 1966 C15 I got from Norridge Motorcycles in Minster Lovell. When I think of what a rusty wreck it was and only 9 years old it makes me marvel at the condition of my current old crates. I used to go upstairs for kickstart return ...
