Last year I chose the times to ride over the winter on my 250. This year I have drained the tank while I do some work on it. Just to amuse this photo is of the 350 sport I got in 1983, just before I sold it to a friend in 91. A man in his twenties (me), mostly only transport and no money to look aft...

Arthur thanks for the suggestion, I'll ponder that.

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 do...

Update: So rivets loose again. Some axial play but not touchIng the flywheel (that I can see). I wonder if it is more crash damage? 1) will be investigating new rivets: anybody know what size I need? 2) is a loose stator enough to make the engine run horribly? Mis-fires above 5500 and will not ticko...

A bit late but...
I had the plug out of my 250 2c and used a piston depth gauge. Photo and some CAD for the following:
There will be some inaccuracy due to drawing the lines and parallax with the angle I held the phone at, but may help someone in the future.

Might amuse?

Shoulder healed, but a bit achy. First short ride out today. Bloody marvellous!

If you are in the VMCC there is an article in this month's (November) about my 250 2c. Mostly the same as the article that was in the club magazine a while ago.

I have used an Abba stand for many bikes over a number of years. As you say a game changer. If you have a lathe, or friend with one, I have found it very easy to turn up adapters for different bikes, even my 250 (a bit high when using the footrest bosses).

This for a ducati, no idea how you would translate that to the Morini wiring

Thanks for all of your hard work, Barry
Bloody A.I.; artificial: yes. Intelligent: not yet.

In this months The Classic Motorcycle:

I second the "approach Arthur for guidance". He guided me through the process of successfully registering my 250 2c after rebuilding it from a box of bits. It had very little history.

Ignorant in the truest meaning of the word. Might amuse or upset!

Brilliant! Love the photos.
I have done a few track days on the Indy circuit on my Honda 600 and when I had a speed triple. A fun circuit. Sadly the family won't let me do any more track days, even though the roads seems more dangerous.
