Hello again Robin. I'm afraid I can't help you any more. Unfortunately I sold my Morini last spring as I needed a bike that I could commute on (84 mile round trip). I did't think the Morini deserved the abuse. When I sold the bike, I also got rid of any documentation I had. There is a really good te...

Timing problem........Please help!!!!!!

I'm having problems timing my 1976 3 1/2 Strada. When using a strobe light, the timing mark moves all over the place. I've renewed the HT leads, timing belt and one of the transducers. I'm guessing the pick-up is at fault but wanted to make sure before buying one. Any help much appreciated. Cheers, ...
