Re: 3D printed Speedo MPH Bezel

Gareth - only just seen this message! What we came up with was something that clips into a speedometer bezel on the outside of the glass, to simply mark (for instance) 50kph is approx 30mph. We did not make a new clock face to fit in the speedometer, on to the mechanism. Presuming that you have a ta...

Re: More Carburettor Woes! Help1

Steve Brown: a very delayed reply. Thanks for your help, very useful indeed. I threw the choke cable away (seals were utterly knackered - good shout), and took the choke lever off it now has the carb chokes on each carb. I stripped and sonic cleaned the carbs, and due to previous poorly repaired dam...

Speedometer Cable '81 500SEI

Hello folks. Went for the shakedown run on the 500 to the Bell yesterday, with George. It was good to meet up with all of you by the way. The one proper failure that I did have on the way back, was the speedometer cable. It's gone to speedo' cable heaven. The one on the Mdina Italia site does not ap...

Re: More Carburettor Woes! Help1

Thanks for the replies chaps, very helpful. To be honest Dave, I had presumed that the front tap was a small electrical fuel pump/fuel tap. I have just found a thread posted on the board about replacing this tap with an MZ ETZ manual tap. Does anyone know what other, if any, manual fuel taps can be ...

More Carburettor Woes! Help1

I have a problem with my SEI, it will accelerate so far and the it just goes "bwarrrrrr" and bogs down, before eventually clearing. It never seems to run clean from then on though, it feels restricted. The bike is equipped with Dellorto PHBH26 BS carburettors. The main jet is 120: the idel...

Hydraulic Brake Set 42.08.20 - fork damper 35mm Marz

Has anyone any idea where I could get hold of a couple of new nylon fork bushese for this item (35mm Marzzochi's), or indeed any spares for these forks? The bushes are serviceable, but whilst the forks are apart having new fork seals and a service I thought I might try to improve matters! Any (sensi...

3D printed Speedo MPH Bezel

3D Printed Veglia MPH Ring .jpeg Folks: if anyone is interested my son has just printed me an mph bezel on his 3d printer. It doesn't look half bad, quite smart. Unfortunately I cannot upload an image, because my "...board attachment quota...", has been reached, apparently! However messag...
