West country windings have most likely replaced your original bobbin with a scooter bobbin. VESPA stators look very similar to Morini stators so an easy mistake to make. VESPA PX spec is typically around 500 ohms with min spec of 470 ohms. The higher resistance is because the VESPA system typically ...

I'm only getting 140ohm on the coil but starting has never been an issue in the past. Could this drop suddenly? Yes, winding layer to layer shorts caused by failing 40 year old insulation could occur and cause the number of effective turns and hence the available voltage to the CDI units to be redu...

Hi The rocker arm bushes and shafts are often worn, that won't stop them running, might well add to the general clatter. The non captive rocker should only have a little end float like 0.1mm, so shaft might need pushing through. Mdina Italia in the UK might even have new ones, or second hand. Dont f...

Hi,

Thickness 0.83mm, measured on NOS from 90s.

As an ex d and t teacher I have some sheets lying about! And I like a challenge... There are only two occupations of Morini owners it seems; Engineer or teacher, or both i.e teacher of engineering as in your case! I will measure up, cant help on the exact grade though, I can send you a used one if ...

Sorry to hear it was the wrong kit, I guess they don't know their stock properly. Worth bearing in mind when Benjy Straw starts work on my engine. I will have to progress with trying to make my own head gasket then! Could you let me know the thickness of the gasket please? Well you could make your ...

Yes, they confirm to ignore the picture. Haven't ordered a set yet. Well ordered received and it's as per picture, I.e a 125 Ultimo tipo. So they were wrong. It's not too bad to order two sets as you just end up with a spare clutch cover gasket. I don't use the wimpy centre paper gasket. But I expe...

Hi Vitesse
Its a possible solution.

The 250 2C seat is quite a bit narrower than a 350 sport seat. However with a modification to the brackets, cut off and remake, it could be made to work, but the beauty of the 250 is everything is like a scale model of the 350 and all in proportion.

Great to have you at the Rally,
By the way Barry is ideally after the
Sport style 39.01.16 with the little rear hump.

A later 125 seat, might work too, 39.01 20, I think the only difference is the cover decals.

Does anyone know if a 250T seat has the same base as a 250 2C?

Sorry about the late reply and update to this. I decided to remove the clutch casing and primary drive, and replaced all seals including the main seal. I took great care to fit the new main clutch seal (a quality, double lipped Viton type) before refitting the casing assembly with primary drive alr...

Thanks,
I ordered a set anyway from Italy let's see what comes.
All other gaskets are usable on 350s anyway.

Hi

Did you get response from Athena?

Cheers

Hi Fastmongrel I don't really know what to say, I am truly sad for you that West Country windings couldn't rewind the coil the same as the original The generator winding is  supposed to be a tall  bobbin, not a short bobbin. I reckon this has been wound with the wrong gauge of wire = far too small =...

The problem I have with using the centre stand on my 81 sport is that it makes it awkward due to height Is it possible to rotate backward a few notches like the ( strada ) pictures suggests? The club strada kickstart is correctly fitted and is further back than a aluminium one, thus lower, if you d...

Well, I have tried to shrink a photo of my sidestand to a size that can be coped with here, but working with an android tablet and my general incompetence with matters computing, I cannot get it to a small enough size, hu hum! The old gimmers on the VMCC forum struggle with this. Having the luxury ...
