MRC Forum- brought to you by www.morini-riders-club.com

Im finishing off a 501 engine and need to put the lid on it. I have 2 unmatched rocker covers - a standard 350/500 type and a chrome slotted 501 type, so Im looking for either, to end up with a matching pair, or can swap you!

Also, less urgently a pair of 350/500 forks

Ive done both the MC Piston rally and the MC Indianos Colombres rally twice, and always on my 500/5 - much prefer the later Colombres event I always take a pair of spare transducers, a pick-up, brake & clutch lever, handful of nuts and bolts, zipties, and tools inc socket and extension to reach ...

You have the correct kickstart for a displacer/ Its the same as the 350, which you will need, unless you like welding the digestive-biscuit like material that Tarozzis are made from every time you kickstart it. NLM sell the displacers which are a great fit

No offset needed on my 500 Konis. Otherwise as comments above. Not got time to remove mine and measure them off the bike sorry

Didnt know you still had a Morini JP? Thought your drumbrake Sport was the only one

That was one of my old bikes and it did have an electric start when I sold it!

Cheers Harry...am getting the cases and barrels back today hopefully. WIll be in touch

There was I searching for "500 crankcase(s)" to no avail....

Having built up a bottom-end using some old 500 crankcases I had kicking around, I discovered with a foul oath that although the stud-spacing is fine, the liners of the 501 barrel/top-end i intended using, wont fit into the crankcase mouths. I never even imagined this would be an issue, and dont rec...

Danomar I havent yet investigated this. The very specific revs that it happens at (4500rpm) could well be ignition? Ive raised the needles last night to see if it's fueling but leaking fork-seals stopped play It Must Be... I tried 250 float valves and a lower needle but every time I opened the throt...

Currently Im running: 'Fruity' exhausts, K&Ns mounted up under the tank on the airbox rubbers, L cam and 28mm PHBH Dellortos: 40 slide, X18 needle 136 main (not, 132 ignore previous posting!) 42 pilot 60 starter jet BC264 Atomiser 200 Float needle jet 11.3gr float and it's not far off, apart fro...

Thanks for your replies guys. Very helpful. Norbert, Id 'collected' your old jetting settings before from this Forum and saved them, but you had a 50 slide! My 28mm Dellortos have a more-common 40 slide so this latest posting is very useful.. Isnt yours and my Main Jet size MASSIVELY bigger than sta...

Are you still looking for one.My friend has a running but scruffy early TS250/1? (speedo in the headlamp shell model) in Bath

I think they are ace. ive got a Trophy Sport and I love it

Im in the process of jetting up a non standard Morini (501 engine in a 350 frame, L cam, gutted airbox, fruity pipes) and it's getting there. Except, at a steady or closing throttle, it spits back audibly through the carbs up under the tank at 4,500rpm ie almost exactly at half-revs. Is this likely ...
