Re: Side panel badges

Success, I sprayed the clips with WD40 and later, I was able to lift the tabs on the clips with a small screwdriver and off they came. The badge just popped off all pins intact. The plastic blob doesn't do anything.

Re: Side panel badges

Thanks for the replies. All pins and clips are in place. There is also a round plastic blob in the middle of the four pins, don't know if this is important. Sounds tricky, guess I will have to give it a go.

Hi, can anyone advise please how to safely remove and later re-place these badges. I need to re-spray one panel.

Re: 500 carb connections

Hi Graham
Good tip re the left hand carb. Unfortunately the right side carb is leaking. A new gasket set has been ordered from Dellorto France.
So the big kick will have to wait. Good luck with the rebuild.

Re: 500 carb connections

Hi Graham Yes the carb has been off, the slide freed and it is now back on the bike. I have re-fitted the air cleaner box and note that it rather compromises the throttle action on the left side. Next I will re-fit the tank, bung in some petrol and see what happens when I give it a kick. The electri...

Re: 500 carb connections

Thanks Graham Yes In can see now that it is the choke cable and how to undo it. The problem I have is that the left carb slide is stuck so I am soaking it in carb cleaner. The bike is going to need some work to get it back on the road. I live in France and have never seen another Morini here unfortu...

There is the throttle cable and another connection that goes to a metal cylinder on the frame. I don't wan...
