Re: alternator stator rivets

Interested to hear how you do fix it when it's done. I have a spare stator in a similar condition-haven't needed it yet! As for the running problems, I think it would likely upset the earthing of the ignition coil to the back plate and crankcase. It might well behave like a coil that is breaking dow...

Re: Barrels and rocker gear

The place in Hannover has everything. Their asking prices are always fantastic. By that I mean fantasy. Try Mdina Italia here in the UK. Akways worth looking there first. There will be other private individuals with parts too, some will have most of an engine for the prices Hannover is asking!

Re: Wiring help - NLM Transducer kit with coils

Glad you've got that sussed out and hope the CDI's aren't damaged. The later models had a diode built into the harness to prevent battery voltage being sent down the green lead. It's easy to add one in yourself if not already there.

Re: 350 Sport for Sale PRICE DROP!

Well, I'm very glad to be a member of the MRC Youth wing! Paul, I was about to start converting my Sport to Strada spec, (and keep it!) but not actually started the job yet as so many other projects ongoing. I'll mull it over and get back to you! Soon!

Re: New Kanguro

They look quite good, I think the quoted weight of each model compared to the Honda CRF is quite similar. The Honda gets derided by enduro and trail riders for being heavy but it still sells by the ship load. Assuming these actually get to market they ought to sell well.

Re: New Strada owner - hello & a switchgear question

Is the Camino switch (barring the wiring) a straight drop in to the original switch mounting plates on the Morinis Steve ? Yes, it fits straight in. The wiring as you guessed is slightly different and doesn't allow for a parking light connection. It is more like the older 5 pole switches which had ...

Re: Snap, and then i was taught some patience

Some of the supplies from Venhill have not been well received. Wrong inner/outer lengths etc. It's a shame but the patterns they were using may have been for bikes with different levers etc. The cables themselves are good quality but you do need to either specify the dimensions you want, or as John ...

Re: New Strada owner - hello & a switchgear question

You may be happy to know that Morini world is not yet overrun with originality freaks or rivet counters. The majority of Morini fanciers prefer their bikes to work well, as the designer intended. Nobody points their fingers at my Honda Camino ignition switches on 2 of my bikes. Most won't even spot ...

Re: New Strada owner - hello & a switchgear question

Welcome to the club! I think you're on the right idea about three ball bearings missing. I'm sure there were ball bearings in there to locate the positions. I haven't messed with this switch much, as those I had needing attention were so worn and flakey I decided to replace them with a pattern from ...
