Re: Oil pressure check
There is no oil pressure sensor.
The Dart would originally have had a special sump plug with level sender. You could replace the banjo for the lower oil cooler pipe with one that incorporates a sensor.

Re: Carb o rings
I have seen many, many carbs with no O-rings fitted. In fact I'd say most that haven't been rebuilt have had no O-rings.

If you want to measure fuel height, modify a spare main jet holder to allow fitting a sight tube.

Re: Engine stand
I'm sure I showed the stand I made in one of my videos. Angle adjustable and allows the cases to be split.
Do NOT ask me to make you one, it's not going to happen.
Do NOT ask for drawings, there never were any.

Re: How many teeth on a standard front sprocket?
14 tooth is standard on Morinis with 500 series chain.
Have you checked whether your rear sprocket is standard?

Re: Carburettors
I don't use a Colortune on a motorcycle. The volume of them is too big compared to the cylinder and leads to misleading readings. There are motorcycle versions with reduced volume. The idle mixture atomisation of the Delorto is also quite crude and give a misleading colour. Very slowly turn in the m...

White sleeve is for push on applications (like the early metal inlet manifolds).

Re: Carburettors
It's not going to help with air leaks. The black adapter isn't available from Eurocarb, so I'd make a one piece insert that does both jobs.

Re: Carburettors
Understood, but with that said at the most basic level, when built up, should the slides in the carbs fully close down? Mine are visibly still open at the bottom. Yes, there should be a slight gap under the slide. Also the manuals always stated that the 350 S needed the 260 BD atomiser but my carbs...

Re: Carburettors
When I'm rebuilding carbs and presetting them off the bike, I'll set the stop screw to barely create a gap under the slide. If the ignition is too advanced, the idle speed can be right, or even too fast with the slides fully shut. On the other hand if retarded, the slides may end up too far open to ...

Re: Carburettors
Make sure the throttle cable has slack.
