Clutch

Hi.
Does anyone have some old steel clutch plates for sale, I want to make a clutch holding tool.
I'm also looking for any old workshop tools that people don't want/need anymore.
Thanks.

Mixture screw

Hi. my Morini is being delivered tomorrow evening, so to amuse myself I've been putting together a sort of to-do list as it hasn't been on the road for a number of years.

I've seen somewhere, I think it was the dutch morini site that the coil for the Lambretta is been sold as a replacement for one of the Morini transduser types. The lambretta electronic ignition system is very similar in operation to the Mor...

Re: New owner, potentially

Oil and belt change definitely on first to do list, then as you say I can get on the road and give her a good shakedown to highlight any thing extra that is need...

Basically standard other than pod filters and a 2-1 s/s 'zorst, although the p...

Re: New owner, potentially

Hi Steve. Thanks for that. I've seen a couple of posts about condensation damaging valve gear, bearings etc so I guess I was wanting a bit of reassurance that being in storage - I realise the conditions of storage play a big role, isn't necessarily such a bad thing.
