Re: Suggestions to remove slop in gear lever pivot
I just wrapped a strip of thin shim metal around a worn pivot and a slather of grease which seemed to work. Probably classed as a bodge. If the sides of the pivot pin could be dressed to remove the uneven wear then a bush ( Glacier bush ?) might work.

Re: Valentini Replica
My Sport has Sito pipes at present but they are beginning to go at the ends. Does the RMS allow use of mainstand ans sidestand?

Re: More Carburettor Woes! Help1
When it bogs can you notice any change with a choke on? I don’t like the needle position difference. Is that a bodge to work around the air filter? Can you double check the numbers on jets, atomisers, needles, slides, float action and float height, colour of floats ( white or black) and report findi...

Re: Oil
At least we do not suffer from dust clogging up the air filter.
Greenfly more like it.

One way bearing again
This pertains to the one way bearing in Kokusan type engines, in my case in a Coguaro. I just had the garter spring which retains the cam rollers fail again, luckily at home. Last time was in Ashbourne since when I have done around 1500 miles. I have some spare bearings so an easy fix. Is this an oc...

Re: Strada carbs
With the floatbowl removed and a suitable container under the carb, manually lifting the float with a fuel tap on then slowly lowering should determine if the needle is sealing and give some indication of float height. It can be that the float is hanging up on the float bowl. There may be a witness ...

Gear shaft oil seal
Has anyone actually replaced a weeping gear shaft seal in situ?
In an ideal world a fine pointy hook or fine self tapper /wood screw would go in and the seal would pull out.
Marshall’s luck dictates I damage the seal but cannot extract it.

Re: Stock Air Box questions
Mine has a sort of groove or channel worn or made to accommodate the cable routing. I have had no issue with this in 17 years, except for a nipple coming off at the twistgrip once when naturally I was at the bottom of a steep hill.

Re: Strada MK5 Front Spindle washer
This is interesting. I thought why not remove my twin disc front cast wheel and check. It has not been off for a good while. What do I find? No washer either. Spindle goes through rh fork into speedo drive then through shouldered spacer on other side of wheel before exiting the lh fork. There is a g...

Re: 350 not charging the battery
Have you a copy of the Blue book Morini manual? According to the section on testing for correct charge function, you should be getting around 8amp with the meter connected in series to the red lead which goes from the generator to the battery at 6000rpm. Disconnect the three leads, 2 yellow and one ...
