Re: What else got a solenoid-operated petcock?

Some Guzzis of the era had the same Orlandi solenoid operated fuel tap.

The club is currently looking into getting new diaphragms manufactured, in a modern fuel proof rubber.

Watch this space (and please let me know if anyone reading this is interested in one so we can gauge demand)

Re: Do I have an ignition problem

When your last stator burnt out, Mark asked where the riveted on keeper plate had gone.

I can’t really see in your most recent photo but it’s not obvious that that fault has been rectified. Can you post a few more pictures of that area?

Re: Battery

I’m guessing your query is because you’re having starting issues? Most decent modern batteries (especially AGM butteries like the odyssey) will have higher cranking capacity than anything available when these bikes were new. However no matter how good your battery, it all struggle to start if the en...

Re: H4 bulbs can I swap for an LED bulb

I didn’t get on at all well with the P43t daylighter LED in my sport (same square headlight as you) and instead swapped it for a Hella HR2 60/55W halogen bulb. The halogen HR2 is very good with a more correct beam pattern and is the correct type of fitting for the reflector. Ok not the power saving ...

Re: Welcome new forum members - introduce yourself

Welcome to the club and to Morini ownership, For the fuel cap seal, I bought some 1.5mm thick Viton sheet from eBay and cut my own to size. Easy job with a pair of scissors and a small drill bit or bradawl to put the centre and breather holes in. The filler cap can be unscrewed to remove and replace...

Re: looking for right hand sidecover, 1975 morini 350

The best repros of this type of sidepanel I’ve ever seen. Made in steel by a club member in the UK for passion not profit.

Re: number 4 slide for VHB24BS

Can’t help with this myself, but have you tried Eurocarb? I’ve always found them to be most helpful and knowledgeable, and whilst not listing the exact part you want, might be able to advise on an alternative. If you can get a slide with a smaller cutaway than you need, you can always have the cutaw...

Re: MRC Rally and AGM weekend 8-10 September 2023

The club reserved number of rooms in a block booking, for the benefit of our members but not all of them. At ~£170 per room for the weekend it would be an enormous cost to the club if we failed to sell them all. We had everything which wasn’t a double room for our members, knowing that there are rel...
