Re: Another possible carb issue

Norbert / 3potjohn Thanks for that you have put my mind at ease re the silencers and air filtration side of things. Going to leave carburation well alone for now, as I say just dont give it big handfulls - job for the winter months. It starts and idles fine by the way, usually 1st or 2nd kick, or a ...

Another possible carb issue

Took my 3 1/2 Strada (fitted with a sport motor) out for some excercise this afternoon. I found that it picks up much better if I dont use full throttle - probably best at around 1/2 - 3/4, if you wind it open it "growls" and picks up slower, thinking that there may be a carb / jetting iss...

Re: Rear shocks

Re: Rear shocks

Father B - following your link I eventually found https://motomoriniclub.forumcommunity.net/?t=56189893 Explains perfectly what I had in mind. Going to give Ugo until Saturday, if the parts do not arrive then I will simply replace the seals - not going to even bother wasting time emailing him again....

Re: Rear shocks

It is just plain poor customer service, if someone sends me an email I reply. Perhaps he knows he has us but the short and curlies as I dont believe there are any other sources of these items. Grrrrrrrrr, think I go for a pint........... P.S. I use Google translate to compose my emails - pretty easy...

Re: Rear shocks

So it will be 6 weeks tomorrow and still no sign of the seals from Zanardini Ugo, I have sent another email, and again no reply. Really not happy with this, so was wondering....... Having looked at the part that the oil seal is housed in, it looks like there is a steel washer on top of the seal and ...

Re: Cam opinions

One solution would be to blag a ride on a sport, that way you can feel what is is like to ride one, perhaps go along to a local Morini meet and see if anyone is willing to let you have a ride. I have a book called the "Moto Morini 3 1/2 & 500 Performance Portfolio 1974-1984" which is j...

Re: Rear shocks

Zarnardini is now back at work - placed the order this morning.

Good job that you can translate the website pages otherwise I would have been lost.

Re: Rear shocks

Tom. Many thanks for this / taking the time to add links / generate PDF. Looks like mine are the later ones (Euro 74) as they have the deeper nut, the damper rods measure 9.94mm diameter, so guess you would call them 10mm damper rods. I am waiting to hear back from Ugo, for some reason he has not re...
