Fuse upgrade

[NJB3051]

Hello everyone - I am new to this group and I'm looking for information on upgrading the fuses on my 1976 3 1/2. I did a quick search using "fuse upgrade", "fuse box", but did not see anything. I would keep the originals, but I just want a more reliable fuse system than the original. Thanks, and glad to join the group.

Nice! Tony K of the Dutch club has something nice fitted to his resto here, http://www.motomoriniclub.nl/project.html but more than that I do not know.

What part of the world are you in?

Lovely bike you have there. I take it you are new to the world of Morinis ? The reason I think that there are no posts on fuse upgrades is because the original system works very well. I have never had a fuse blow in four and a half years . I am sure you could upgrade to a more modern blade type fuse if you were savvy with electrics. Where are you? It doesnt look like Britain

Hello, and thanks for the comments. Sorry about my late reply. I'm only answering now b/c apparently I do not have the system set up correctly to inform me when someone posts a reply to my post. Yes, this is my first Morini, and I'm learning as I go along. I'll clean up the current fuse holder, get new fuses and give it a go. I'm facing another issue now, however, and that it sourcing parts. I need intake manifolds and maybe some other bits and pieces. I am located in the US in the state of Pennsylvania. I'm also trying to locate a parts manual or microfiche. Any help would be greatly appreciated. - Thanks! Nick.

Hi Nick,

I too am in the US, western Maryland, near Antietam Battlefield. If you're on Facebook, you might consider joining the Morini page there. They have a File area and in it is a 3 1/2 parts book: https://www.facebook.com/groups/motomor ... 542953510/

I've tried (unsuccessfully) to buy parts from Herdan Corp. in Port Clinton, PA (the original importer) - can't even get them to answer the phone or return my calls. Best bet is to email Stuart @ North Leicester Motorcycles with a list of needs. He's very prompt in responding and I've found NLM's prices to be reasonable. http://www.northleicestermotorcycles.co ... ct_us.html

Feel free to contact me at the shop if I can help.

I prefer new electronics on old bikes as well regardless of how well they worked back in the day. When I put mine together I am going to make a completely new wiring harness from scratch. Just to rule out any possible issues since I intend on riding it often. I'm in Indianapolis and I have a few sources for parts if someone is in need of something. Let me know.
