Sorry about the confusion, I'm still recovering from Stafford. An unmatched pair of ignition units is not an ideal situation. As for the 'device', I can't be sure... In any case, I'd remove it and go to a stock setup. Thanks anyway, Paul. I intend fitting a matched pair of transducers and removing ...

Indeed! - Now, perhaps it would also be possible to move the currently active 250 posts in 'Tre e Mezzo' to '250 Vee'?
Thanks in anticipation. Bob

Yet the later 250 l have also has one (whereas my 1980 version doesn't). Did yours come from Spain? Perhaps original equipment for some markets?

Yes, it's a 1984 model, from Spain. The Piaggio transducer is also 'made in Spain'

If you look closely at the device you'll see a diode symbol on it. Yes, thanks Paul, the diode is visible in the 'chocolate block' and is where it is shown on the wiring diagram. The thing I don't understand is the plastic tube (looks like an electric motor starter) with 2 green, 1 blue and 1 yello...

Hello folks, thought I'd slip this into an existing Topic. I am puzzled by the transducer arrangement on my newly acquired 250. The bike is fitted with a square grey transducer and a black Piaggio transducer, the pick-up is black. Now the alternator feeds to the ign switch via the diode (as per wiri...

You do need a flywheel puller - but they're not expensive and are the same as most scooters. If you have an air gun it's easy to rattle-off the nut (apparently), if not you probably need to make a sort of peg spanner to locate in the flywheel holes. Belts are expensive from NLM (in my opinion) as th...

As a 'new' owner (actually I had one for a few weeks some time back) I agree, I now need to pick some brains.

It's well worth going through the article on the motomoriniclub.nl site which covers the ignition system. Plenty of advice on replacement parts as well as alternatives.

I'll try again, then. Thanks.

Re the ad in Subito - yes I've seen it and no, I didn't get any reply. I am currently just cleaning up, replacing wheel bearings (all open and stuffed full of gritty grease), cleaning carbs, etc, before seeing how (if) it runs. Then I'll need a new chain and sprocket set at least. Oh, and I have a p...

...No decision made on purchase yet. It is a toss up between the k2 and a gs650 funduro with full luggage. At 6'2" the latter makes a lot of sense! Well, I've had an F650 Funduro and now have a Dakar, both comfortable though I preferred the Funduro. I couldn't compare either with a Morini, tho...

Might be easier trying a smaller master cylinder, which should give better 'feel' to the brakes.
Otherwise, I have a spare disc and caliper, though another lister has already asked about them.

Curiouser and curiouser. Looks like this was a Fred Flintstone Special. I have all the right parts - but not necessarily in the right order. Looks like the footrests and pedals have been 'converted' into rearsets by cutting and welding (plus the addition of a sidestand bracket which is truly horribl...

Could be interested in the pipes. As for brake and gear pedal, I think I need these two. (PO used Neanderthal methods to 'modify' them).

It actually fits OK, just looks a bit 'moche' (ugly / unsightly in French)!
