Re: 250 2C - various questions from new owner

Hi Richard, and welcome to the fold. I'm not aware of any washer or O ring where you describe. Are they removable for inspection? I'm sure if there had been anything other than the carb body the Dellorto manual would list them. On all the Dellorto carbs fitted to the air cooled V twins that I've see...

Re: Clutch parts

I'll dig the bits out before the weekend and get some pics for you.

Re: Gearbox cluster compatibility

I'm sure the year won't matter. My original 350 Sport gearbox was occasionally jumping out of gear. On inspection the dogs were rounded but not much else was worn. This bike had done well over 100,000 miles and the low mileage Kanguro cluster had dogs intact with a clear 'undercut' to them. One day ...

Re: Clutch parts

Stempy, did you get sorted with the clutch parts? I have some used stuff doing nothing here.

Re: Front disc replacement

I have no idea about the Guzzi discs but I would first try sending the Morini discs to the 'Disc Doctor'. He does a great job with them and not very costly either.

Re: Gearbox cluster compatibility

Pete, if you want to come and look I have a 350 gear cluster or two spare. I have also swapped later Kanguro clusters into my 76 Sport without any issues. I didn't even check to see what the differences were. I'm in South Leicestershire near Lutterworth.

Re: Exhaust Heat Shield

Looks in good condition too. I still have my original so not going to bid on this. I'm surprised no-one has made these yet....

Re: Avon Trailrider tyres, suitability for a Kanguro?

Yes, I think the sizes you've mentioned are correct and the tyres suit majority road riding too.

Re: October Stafford

Thanks for your kind words Paul. Sadly the complainant (aka whinger) is no longer member so even less chance of him or her putting some big boy/girl pants on and meeting us to tell us where we are going wrong. Personally, I can confirm we had a busy weekend and talked ourselves hoarse to stand visit...

Re: gearing

Sorry I can't explain the dots or be sure about the number 2. I would personally disregard the dots as either damage from debris in the past or some previous owners marking to keep parts from a particular cylinder together. The spring under the oil ring is as you've read, only for older type pistons...

Re: Corsaro oil pumps

Jenny, my new pump was from B&B. It was spot on. I have spoken with the owner on the phone and he has a later engine with side points. Sounds like it's a lot faster than mine too!

Re: Corsaro oil pumps

Yes, all accessable in the primary cover. Mine sounded fine to but it was surviving on splash lube. The pump was stuck solid and the teeth on its drive gear had stripped too. I suspect a 63 would be 9mm but it's easy to strip it and confirm. Then again, from what you've told me I think your engine i...

Re: Do I have an ignition problem

Look on thr Dutch Morini site for a diy coil rewind. Not difficult, a bit tedious, I doubt the old coil former is salvageable. ah Ming you are very modest, this splendid article is exactly what the O.P would need to rewind the bobbin. The antique grinder a stroke of genius. Based on that I think th...

Re: 1963 ish Corsaro rear brake return spring

Hi Jenny, ref the stand spring, on mine it does work on the stand as well as the brake pedal. I was struggling to work out where it hooked to until it all just sort of became clear while giving it a hard stare. If I can get a picture I'll try to show how it goes.

Re: gearing

Oh dear, that isn't sounding positive. I will have a spare valve adjuster assuming your rockers etc are ok-mind you, I might have rockers to spare too. Don't get too despondent, these engines are fairly easily worked on and fixed if you can find the parts. And the parts are mostly available too. Let...
