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.

I am impressed with your skill and ingenuity.

I used that selfsame cable adjuster bodge......on my old Atco mower.

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 ...

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

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.

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

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 ...

The inevitable Beemer -R75/7. Recently on the naughty step gearbox wise but I’ve done the knowledge on those heavy things so all good again.

Bad luck but at least you are not smacked up. I just om’d you.
Good hunting John

I used to have a C15 back in 1975. You could bowl along the backroad via Ashton Keynes and Siddington to Peter Hammonds and get a kickstart return spring. Then stop in a pub for a pint and a pork pie.

Stop it ! Get those parsnips peeled.
I managed 45 mins in the garage early today… but I think I got away with it.

I am not much of an engineer as anyone who knows me will attest but drilling holes is not that bad. I bought a batch of 0.8mm bits ( they are fairly easy to break). My Dremel clone has a clone chuck which can accept these bits . No point in spending money! I made a drilling guide from a cube of wood...

On the other hand round carb slides don’t wear as quickly as flat slides. My Sport has standard everything fuel wise apart from Sito silencers and has never had a flat spot except for a rear tyre once.

Those items are subject to wear as you say. Other things to verify are working correctly include float height, float needles, choke piston ends as the seal eventually degrades) And of course you can check HT leads, caps, spark plugs and ignition timing. Apparently many men slope off to the garage on...
