Hi Mark, Yes will be along on Saturday, I don't know if my soldering skill is up to the job! If you have a wiring diagram for the driver you made that would be a help. I do know someone locally ie next door who may be able to assemble it. I've taken a picture from sorens video but it's all double Du...

I am very hopeful that my eureka moment has arrived, today replacement transducers arrived from www.pedparts.co.uk They are the piaggio et3 and various other scooter, small bike units. Ducati electronica with the number 32398 1 1 2 £28.95 each. Just fitted them and a first kick starter the, engine f...

Yes the left carb can be lent over a tad for the cable to clear the air box, the starter can be a multitude of problems. Plenty of posts on here about that subject, if you are tall enough not too hard to use the kickstart. My 500 sport unfortunately is in need of an engine strip this winter, shrapne...

Good stuff, have you got the carb off the bike? Much easier to attack the brute! If you haven't got a dellorto spares supplier en francaise www.eurocarb.co.uk are excellent to deal with. Is your bike a Sport or Strada, personal choice I know but I think the black with red frame looks rather good Gra...

Hi Steve, welcome to the joys of Morini ownership. The metal cylinder is probably the splitter for the choke cable. Trace each cable down to each carb, there should be a slot screw holding the choke mechanism in the carb. Undo the screw and the choke assembly can be withdrawn as a whole. Where are y...

Hi mike, Yes totally with you. I have a good bit of time tomorrow so am planning to be in the garage. Have new air filters in there, rubbers to carbs are good, new copper plug leads, new ngk caps and new BP7ES plugs from a good local supplier. Valve clearances checked and adjusted. The headstock ear...

A few hours this afternoon and have tested the AC current from the ignition winding, at tick over around 90 volts going up to a shade under 100 at about 3/4000 rpm. Does this now point towards the transducers? The Pick up from my 500 I know to be good. The rear plug was certainly wet so I may swap o...

Thank you Mark and Paul for your insight, plenty for me to look into later this week.
Is it possible to measure the ignition coil voltage on a cold, then hot engine.
Graham.

Green wire from ignition winding 210 ohms so not particularly good?

Do 1976 bikes have the engine earth lead? This one doesn't. Maybe fit one and see what happens. Engine lug between oil filler and breather pipe.

Wow thanks Mark there is a lot of stuff there id not thought of will get on this evening. I be done the obvious leads plugs caps. The rotor seems good for magnetism as can hang a 19 mm spanner from it! I must admit the carbs could do with a strip and clean but when it was going it was going well and...

All suggestions and help gratefully received, I have not checked this as I'm electrically backwards!
I will have a look in the manual for readings, ohms are about all I'm capable of. Just.
Humour me for a moment, do I take the reading from the green stator wire to er earth?

Nearing witzend here, So yesterday had a couple of hours so decided that put the series 2 pick up and rotor from my 500 onto the 350. Initially the bike started and was noticeably smoother running, even at tick over. I decided to go for a very gentle low rev trundle around and for a couple of miles,...

Forgot to mention again the excellent series of you tube videos by Soren Hansen on Morini ignition systems/faults etc.
Part 3 esp good for people like me, at explaining the various parts.

Yes Pete, i will be in touch with George Lane shortly.
Thanks for that.
Graham
