Er, for reference? How long have these carbs been out of production? All part of the fun of old bikes.

Re: Bikes for sale

Fear not, Julian - though it is as far again as I am (and really a Strada, I think). https://www.leboncoin.fr/motos/2142972137.htm

Re: For the club strada- marzocchi dampers

I have a couple of pairs of Marzocchi rear shocks in the barn, which may be of use. Both pairs need overhaul. I may be able to get them to Abergavenny during the first week in August, but will be pressed for time (family visit).

You need one for Sunday, then.

There must be another member over there who wants one (eh Julian?) :wink:

Re: :-( Selling up :-(

Yes, but I had it for sale ffor a couple of years on the same site for half the price with no interest.
Strada was mine, too.
I’m glad I still have the 250 now!

Re: :-( Selling up :-(

It was quite surreal, actually. A local guy came to look at a BMW I was selling, 2 days before Julian's visit. He saw the Morinis and bought the two 350s (and the Beemer) for a price that pleased me, leaving Julian with only the 250 to look at, hence extra wine, plus Eau de Vie, was produced. All 3 ...

Enjoyed your visit, Julian. Sorry about the roads but that’s France for you. :wink:

Re: Twist grip replacement

I bought one similar to the one in the link to fit on my Strada (which had previously been fitted with a single pull unit with a splitter). Notwithstanding the fact that it is a solid, well chromed unit, it fits well and works well.

Re: :-( Selling up :-(

Hi Hans and Simon, thanks for the concern. I'm not going, though hopefully one or more of my Morinis will. I shall probably stay on the forum, and definitely continue drinking the local wine. Morinis are too interesting to drop completely!

Re: :-( Selling up :-(

To answer a couple of questions. The bikes are all registered in France as historical and the spares are included as a lot (hopefully).

:-( Selling up :-(

Due to various reasons I need to sell my Morinis, and have not had a lot of interest over here. They are a 1975 A3 Strada, bought from NLM about 19 years ago ( lightened Kanguro crank, nikasil cylinders, gas flowed heads), paint by Dream Machine - had been Sportised, but made more comfortable for my...

Re: 1975 3-1/2 Strada carb boots

Have a look here: https://www.dellorto.fr/fr/carburateurs ... -vhbz.html
I think you are looking at part number 54, which is shown as costing €4.40 - and they are in stock!
