Carb settings.

Hi All, Well I'm not quite ready to try starting the bike for the first time but before I do can someone give me an idea of what a good initial setting would be for the idle and pilot screws? I diligently noted how far out the screws were when I stripped the carbs - but on one carb the screws were n...

Re: 250 2C - various questions from new owner

Thanks, everybody, for all the information. Especially Parker3865 for the great translation of the Instruction Book ( BTW I think 'candles' might be spark plugs). I thought there was a tiny O ring up in the idle jet passageway on both carbs as after I'd cleared the blockages I wasn't seeing a nice d...

250 2C - various questions from new owner

Hi All, I'm the, so far happy, new owner of a 1979 2C. I'm going through the process of reviving it as it has been stored at the back of the P.O.'s garage for about ten years. Unfortunately I can't ask him any questions about the bike as he's passed away - so I hope someone here can rectify my ignor...

Swaps! (125H & 2C)

(If you're on the Morini Mailing List you'll see this ad - so apologies if this is classified as spam) Hi All, I'm after a 2C seat and side panels (early type) and I have surplus a pair of 2C mudguards and a toolbox which is either from a early 2C or a 125H. If you can help me out, or if I can help ...

Excalibur part wanted! (or New York).

A 'wanted' ad for Excalibur bits seems to be a rare thing, but I'm after the silencers. The right-hand one fell off my 507 New York & vanished from the face of the earth so I need a replacement. As it was a cheap & nasty looking aftermarket thing I imagine it'll be easier to track down a pai...

Re: 250c wanted.

Yes the NLM bike does look nice but is a bit pricey for me.

Thanks all for the suggestions.

250c wanted.

I always regretted selling my 250c and now the Excaliber and 125H have gone to new homes I might be able to squeeze one into the garage...

So does anyone in the UK or Northern Europe have one for sale ?

Thanks

350k Stator query.

My ignition coil was below par so I sent the stator off for a rewind, but what came back to me might well be someone elses. When it left me the cables varied in length and now they're all the same length & they look older and tattier than mine were. Of course if the bike started I wouldn't be wo...

125H for sale

With twinges of regret I'm selling my 1981 125H. I've owned it for three years and it was bought for a son who rode it once (VMCC International West Kent run). I've only ridden it to and from the MOT station so we haven't really added much to the 23k kilometers on the clock. It's taxed and tested an...

Re: Registration

I bought a Sport off the German Ebay about three years ago - different country but the UK experience should be the same. I had to fill in a form regarding Duty and VAT which I had to collect in person from my DVLA office ( can't which form ) and because the Sport was over a certain age (it's a 1980 ...
