Need help with electrics

Several months ago I turned the key and smoke came from under the tank/seat of my 1981 250 2C. One of the transducers looked slightly melted. I purchased a pair of used transducers and a used pickup. I've done all the tests in the blue book. Have power from the magneto, can see juice into the transd...

Tyres

I need new tyres (note... a Yank spelling like a Brit) for both my Morini 2C and my Laverda SF2. What do you recommend? I need to purchase tires available in USA. Just rebuilt the wheels for the Laverda. In doing so I trashed an old pair of Pirelli Phantoms. :cry:

Electrics

I posted last in January. At that time I had turned the key on my 1981 2C and filled the air with smoke. The next day I crashed my Buell and broke my wrist. I'm fine now and want to fix the 2C. It appears that one of the transducers cooked off. Interestingly I have a US made voltage regulator in pla...

It only get's worse. While riding the Buell I was broadsided by an SUV. the guy was making a left turn and didn't see me. For you Brits that's the same as a right hand turn across traffic. (Someday you guys will get it right and drive on the correct side of the road!!!!) I was thrown about 50ft, bro...

I pulled the tank and side covers. Couldn't find any fried wires. I'm going to remove the spark plugs and see if I have spark. The neutral light still lights on the dash. guess that's a good thing.

Electric Fire

Saturday was great. I rode the Morini across the island to check on the Laverda. I came home, ate supper and took her for another ride. Stopped at a liquor store and bought a pint. went to start the bike and it smoked. Smelled like electrics. Called the wife to drive the F250 over and pick me up. Wh...

Fiamm Horn Source

I have the same Faimm horns on my Laverda and Morini. You can probably get a new one from Wolfgang Haerter at Columbia Car & Cycle in BC Canada.

I'm with you on electrics. I always get my daughter to fix them for me.

1981 250 2C?

I've finally received the paperwork on this bike. First sold 11/18/1980. I was pleasently surprised to find that the registration was only 1 year late. Here in Hawaii the new owner must pay the back registration due before a new registration will be issued. At $65.50 per year, this can get expensive...

Thanks for the info Paul. My Laverda is in pieces all over the workbench. I'm rebuilding it. The frame went to to powder coat yesterday. I really like the Morini 2C. Ordered the blue book from Herdan yesterday. It has about 7K miles on the dial. It doesn't quite have the power I'm used to but it's s...

250 2C

I have recently aquired a 1980 250 2C. Of course it needs a few things. First, I need a workshop manual and fork seals/dust caps. I think I can get the workshop manual from Herdan. The fork seals are presenting a problem. I measured the Paioli forks with my calipers and I think they're 32mm. However...
