Re: Borrani rim

Thanks Tom,

I put a notification on ebay, and amazingly within a couple of months an unused one came along that a chap had had in his loft for the past 40 years, just waiting for that special project that never happened. Seek and ye shall find (if your lucky)

Re: Trackday Photos

Another fantastic day, even the weather was great. I went off to do the 1000 bikes at Mallory after the trackday, in comparison to the MRC event, the Sunday in particular was a shambles, badly organized, irate people missing their rides etc. I don't know how the club does it, but the MRC day runs li...

Re: perfect jets for vhbz 25hs with pod filters

My bike is running VHBZ25B with pod filters and a two into one exhaust, it is now a 400cc however.
I am running 50 slide, needle top notch, 120 mains, 260 needle, idle 48, it works very well, as a 350 it was on 115 main and needle middle notch.
I hope this helps.

Re: No sparks.

Hi Baz, I've only just caught up with this due to having been in Italy at Mugello for Moto GP. I am electronically dyslexic, so no help there, however, I live in Tonbridge and recently had problems with an NLM ignition settup (more accurately I have always had problems with it since NLM fitted it) M...

Re: Clutch basket noise

Ducati clutches are noisy, but my Morini clutches are not, not sure what is going on with yours Weevee, but it's not normal. Sorry not to be more helpful.

Re: No spark back cylinder

I posted on the 500 recently because of very ongoing ignition problems, swapped the NLM set-up for original parts and the bike is transformed.

Re: 350/501 ignition

Norbert, it's late now so I'm not going to go outside now to check and tomorrow morning I am off to Mallory Park to parade my 400cc Morini racebike, so I won't get a chance to look until next week, but they do have the knuckle and they are Ducati from an Excalibur 501. Julian, this one is Ducati ign...

Re: 350/501 ignition

Just an update on my 501/350 starting issues, to start at the beginning, I bought the bike (my first Morini, but not the last) some 9 years ago, I got it at a good price because the vendor couldn't start it, my first port of call was NLM who removed an early NLM setup and fitted their latest, Alex p...

Re: speedo cable replacement

I have bought one in the past from NLM, might be worth asking Mdina italia.

Re: 350/501 ignition

Norbert, you would not be starting this one with your left leg I promise you, it has to be on the stand or no chance, Harry the carbs have been in bits more times than I can remember, most things replaced, the band is only used when the engine is warm, not when the chokes are used.

Re: 350/501 ignition

Thanks for the replies, Norbert I do have BP7EVX plugs in her, when I bought the bike some 9 years ago I got it at a good price because of the starting problems, so my first stop was NLM to get it sorted, Alex did all the usual checks and put NLM ignitition on it (replacing an earlier NLM ignition) ...

350/501 ignition

I'm lucky enough to have a 501 engined 350, it has the Ducati alternator and an NLM ignition setup, it has always been a pig to start, even when Alex first set up the ignition, now it's getting worse, As I say, the ignition was fitted and set up by NLM and so I don't have any setup notes, has anyone...

Re: How is ordering from Mdina Italia?

Are you putting yourself up for it Mike? Great idea, should ensure a never ending supply of 501 engine bits, L5 cams etc!!

Re: The way we were - perhaps?

I remember those days, seems amazing now, however it got me wondering exactly what does the recycling centre do with waste oil, so I googled it but didn't come up with an answer, I obviously didn't ask the right questions. Does anybody on here know what they do with it? When I worked in industry we ...
