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

I followed some forum advice and went for a Motobatt MB51814. Tayna Batteries. However I did want something good for the electric foot. Loads of room width but tight on height

Had some further thoughts..... primary check of the regulator is OK (yellow wire terminals to casing). Looking at the terminals below the fuse box the insulators in the two red wire blade connectors show signs of melting - red from alternator and to large fuse, see photo. Could this mean it's the re...

Have now had a reply from the previous owner (thanks Pete) - the coils were rewound by Rex Speed Shop. Copper wires are pre-insulated (clear coating)

I've been recommissioning a 500W (1978) and have completed about 200 miles in short(ish) test rides. With a fully charged battery it starts easily on the button but no charge is reaching the battery - no change in volts across the battery when the engine is running. Checked the alternator output - l...

Looking for a battery carrier 15.06.63 for my 500 project, any usable condition. Also rear wheel sprocket lock washers (43.06.42 and 43.05.30) Thanks in advance Andy 07584 663991

Thanks for your comments George and Steve.

Hi, I'm looking for two of the washers that go on the rear spindle, the Stub Axle Washer (43.05.31) and 43.05.70, neither of which were on my bike. Does anyone have examples I couple borrow to copy, the measurements or even items for sale? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Tom. If it doesn’t sell I’ll go take a look. All best Andy

Looking for a complete running 500 in the UK, it will be ridden, so need not be highly polished or rivet counting original.

Hi, I lost a tank badge when out last weekend, may be the stick on adhesive failed in the heat. I've seen some on eBay, any experience of using them? Any other sources, I guess NLM have them? Thanks Andy

Will have to give it a miss today, have to dig the drive and road out before anything moves!

Showing my ignorance, not sussex, Salisbury, Moto Corsa advertise in ATG. Anyone used them? NLM seem to be the real Morini specialists but I'm much closer to Salisbury.

Chris, it runs fine, needed the carbs cleaning, new jets and seals and good to go. I'm planning to gradually improve it while using it. I'll be more comfortable when I've had the belt replaced as it must be at least 10 years old. I've watched the YouTube video but will hand over to a specialist, NLM...

Hi Norbert, it's a drum brake model. I'll try to post a picture, seems the file is too large, so maybe a link. https://nis.nikonimagespace.com/html/gu ... 5fD3KvXbEg

Hello, I just joined the club after acquiring a 3 1/2 Strada. I imagine this will be the first of several appeals for help. As acquired the bike (77 wire wheels etc) has gunmetal colour tank and side panels (amateur spray job) and a green seat, was this ever a colour option? It's been off the road s...
