If in UK you can get clutch plates and cambelts from MdinaItalia, (if they have any clutch plates in stock). However I get my belts from RS on line- these are not graded by cam pulley size of course. What pulley have you got, A,B or C? Contitech 124 L075. RS stock number is 474-9793. The C type can ...

What’s all this “ banned from the garage” business?
Have you not learned to march into the house with muddy boots , switch the heating on because you are cold, change the radio to one you prefer, rip through the fridge leaving a mess in your wake and at a pinch pee on the toilet seat.
Works for me.

And that is exactly the system on Airhead BMW and it works perfectly well. On my Morinis one has the electro tap and the other has a vacuum tap. Both run the risk of either leaking fuel into the cylinder/ oil or packing up. How many times have I forgotten to disconnect the wiring prior to removing t...

I have not deviated from the instruction in the Blue Book on the three occasions where I have had the barrels off since 2007. This on my K1.
Others may have a different opinion.
I reused my head gaskets last time around though.

I am impressed with your skill and ingenuity.

I used that selfsame cable adjuster bodge......on my old Atco mower.

When I got one Morini the clutch lacked much feel. I have only been used to friction plates being of a dark colour but these had bright alloy plates with the friction material not looking too worn out. Putting an old rather worn set in from some I had previously removed from another Morini improved ...

Any progress adjusting the clutch actuating arm at the engine? I had to shorten an inner once following a new clutch pack installation.

Mine really improved with a decent AGM battery, a rebuild and new style clutch shoes. Mind you if I remove and then replace the cover it becomes recalcitrant until I have run the bike for a few miles. Must be a slight alignment issue I suppose.

New tap is a good option. Maybe try Mdinaitalia or Guzzibits?

Yes. 44 Watermoor Road 95 2467. That was the number in 1975. Bike was a 1966 C15 I got from Norridge Motorcycles in Minster Lovell. When I think of what a rusty wreck it was and only 9 years old it makes me marvel at the condition of my current old crates. I used to go upstairs for kickstart return ...

The inevitable Beemer -R75/7. Recently on the naughty step gearbox wise but I’ve done the knowledge on those heavy things so all good again.

Bad luck but at least you are not smacked up. I just om’d you.
Good hunting John

I used to have a C15 back in 1975. You could bowl along the backroad via Ashton Keynes and Siddington to Peter Hammonds and get a kickstart return spring. Then stop in a pub for a pint and a pork pie.

Stop it ! Get those parsnips peeled.
I managed 45 mins in the garage early today… but I think I got away with it.
