My 3 1/2 had a solenoid petcock. Suspect Ethanol won't be kind to the 70s rubber, and mine went years back for a straight manual. I've seen Jap vacuum-op petcocks. I seem to remember Le Mans 850s getting them - I may have that worng? Did anything else - including modern stuff - ever see a 12V soleno...

Sorry about thread revival. I remember Morphy Motors well. In and around 1977-78, maybe 1979, they'd have open days. You could rock-up and ride their demonstrators, it was a proper day out. The roads in and around Long Marston / Tring are right for it. Not sure if MM ever sold motorcycles on the the...

The price, I'd forgotten about that element, I remember being ragged-rotten by my mates, one in particular had bought a K.. Kawa.. K... K.. Kawasa.. a Kaw.. , no I give in, I have my self-respect. I can't bring myself to say the 'K' word. It was a Jap 650 for about the same price. They just didn't g...

That cover... well it was 1975. Political correctness? What's that then?

That test I would think was in a rather more obscure place, so many of you might not have seen this. Published by Link House (they also had bike mags) so I'm assuming one of their sister publications would test a bike and pass their 'copy' over. I read teh test bike came from Devimead and I think &q...

Old thread I know but I can confirm I owned the tank from thsi bike back in the day. From my earleir post here is what I know: My first 1979 Sport was sold in about 1981-82 and I've not seen it since reg CJN904T Anorak bit - Unusual, in that I sold it fitted with Devimead's racer tank. That tank was...

Hello all, I'm a newby and thsi is my first post. I'm a ex-Morini Riders Club member from about 1979-1983 ish. A Tutto Gas was the Club mag if I recall correctly? Back then Benjy (Benji??) Straw used to run the club, I recall I sold him a new 3 1/2 Sport Engine in about 1980-81. I'm going down memor...
