Hi, Do not know if the flywheel does the job, does it heve the extra cup on the other (outer) side which will catch the starter shoes? Cannot see from the pictures on eBay. You still need a 12V stator (or modify yours) as a Kanguro does not generate enough power to change the whole system over to 12...

Hi, Battery: CB18L-A or YB18L-A to be placed just before the rear mudguard Regulator and e-start motor right carter I have if you like. You also need another flywheel with a special rim to catch the starter, better off buying a whole stator/flywheel assembly for a 3 1/2 or 500. The wire harnass you ...

When you change the timing belt you only have to make sure the marks on the rollers stay where they are. Before you take off the old belt line up the marks on the rollers with the marks on the casing, I usually rotate the engine pushing the belt outwards untill 3/4 of the belt is off and then line u...

I think you might have to synchronize the carbs, out of sync is usually the cause for popping.

Hi, Just to make my red devil complete I need to have a few items NLM does not have: 2 pcs M330105 3 1/2 DECAL BLACK 1 pc M370216 SIDE PANEL RIGHT HAND SIDE 350 ROUND TYPE The state of the paintwork on the side panel is not really important as I am goint to respray. :mrgreen: Any body got these item...

Hi, I can't explain the differnece in grease nippels (except that they stripped the right wire replacing one and did a rethread) The crews in the middel of the fork caps are probably there to releive excess pressure (there is a spring/ball under the screw) but you'll have to ride a bumpy road pretty...

Hi, congrats on your buy! As to your questions: The A3 was made for the Italian home market in either the Sport or Strada version. The only real difference would be the S stamped at the lower left front part of your engine if it is a genuine Sport. "Real sports" commonly used Tommaselli cl...

had word from another forum that modern powder coats (multiple applications) are much different from the early types (only heavy duty industrial coatings). Normal paint will stick to modern coats nicely and many professionals even use as the first base coat because it is so durable. If you're not su...

I think spray paint looks much better then powder coat (allthough the latter is more durable) but I'm stuck with a project which has 75% powder coated parts. Does anybody know if it is possible to put a spray paint across powdercoat (with a special bonding layer)?

Hi, these spring/balls are stock for all older Morini forks, had 'm in my Marzocchi on my 3 1/2 '74. I think they are indeed pressure releive valves for extremes. I cleaned 'm and put am back where they belonged, still have to find the bump that will engage 'm though. Driving a speed bump at 100km/h...

Hi,

had a close look at the photos and the dash and rear light are from a later date. Also the clipons seem to be a retrofit. But all in all a very beautifull bike worth keeping.

Hi,

Just a question for arguments sake, I always thought a 125H frame was the same as a 250 frame. Anyone out there who can shed some wisdom on this?

André

Hi Joe, Any chance of sending a link to a picture? As far as originality goes: * your frame number checks out as a '74 Sport (http://www.motomoriniclub.nl/framenumbers.html) * I know for sure that in '74 Sports engines were stamped with an S. The Dutch importer in those days did not like the Strada ...

I shall have a look this weekend in my attick for some curtain rails with inners.... there should be some (or the wife threw 'm out during last spring cleaning). André

I found some really nice aluminium velocity stacks but kind of forgot the rule of thumb about enlarging my main jets. Don't want a nice looking bike with a siezed engine because the mix was too lean....
