Hi.
I had exactly same issue.
check you have a good earth back to the battery.
Check the brushes are not sticking in the holders and are freely moving back and forwards
The brush holders are riveted through the pcb. Mine had broken internally. Had to replace with small brass screw.

Hi new biking venue opened at Cirencester called CTL motors. Great cafe in 50s style booths and loverly bikes on show and for sale. Getting very popular with bikers. All day breakfast is very tasty and prices are good. Well worth a vist.

Hi. My 1981 500 sport was fitted with a Boyer Bransdon single phase regulator when I bought it. It been fine all the time I've owned the bike ( 2 years) and the charging voltage is 13.8v at tickover rising to to 14v when reving the engine. I have also swapped all the lights to LED to help the 43 yea...

Last classic motor hub ride in day 2024. Great ride in on the morini. about 500 bikes including a great looking egli vincent

Classic motor hub italian day. couple of Morinis in what was a very low turn out for bikes. Loads of expensive italian cars.

Hi I have a 500 and as the clutch is dry use VALVOLINE VR1 20w/50 Racing Oil. it has High zinc / phosphorus which provides extreme wear protection, including flat tappet applications. Ideal for older motors. Its a car oil not reccomended for bikes but a lot of brit bike owners use it.

Good ride out to the ride in day at the classic motor hub Bibury. Over 400 bikes. Sadly the only morini there old or new. Bike ran great. Carburation is now spot on. Cruises at 70 mph (on the speedo :) and ticks over beautifully at traffic lights and junctions etc. 400 miles since it was put back on...

Hi whats the kickstarting technique people use. I have got the Sachse electronic ignition system fitted. So its fuel taps on. Kick it twice with choke on but ignition off and no throttle just idle. Switch on ignition and third kick starts it with no throttle just idle position. Anyone have a differe...

Great event that is for classic italian motorcycles and cars at the Classic motor hub Bibury Gloucestershire GL7 5FF. Usually loads of very expensive classic italian supercars and lots of italian motorcycles. Would be nice if I wasnt the only Morini again. Music, food and drink. See link below. http...

Stripped motor before parts arrive. Everything looked ok. Sprayed GT85 over the brushes and copper armature. Re-assembled and tested on a spare battery and motor spun up fine. Fitted everything back on bike and the starter now works at treat!! I am none the wiser as to why the starter stopped workin...

Took bike for first run this year. Just a 30 mile trip mixture of dual carriage way and b roads. Tried to start bike and it took a lot of turning over on the starter. Bike got better and better especially on the way back on the dual carriageway at average 70mph. When the bike stopped it wouldnt star...

Had similar problem. Turned out the brushes in the motor had seized up so not able to move backwards and forwards in the holders. Strip motor down and Clean up with a good degreaser and spray with silicone oil. Its not flammable. If using wd40 let it dry before spinning motor or you could get flames...

Sold a bsa and bought this new Enfield Interceptor in the summer. Great bike. Use the morini for classic meets and the enfield for longer journeys. Swapping left and right gear changes is interesting for the first couple of minutes but I get used to it very quickly now.

Hornby models do a chrome paint that might be suitable https://www.amazon.co.uk/Humbrol-Tinlet-Enamel-Chrome-Metallic/dp/B001TQNG7I/ref=asc_df_B001TQNG7I/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=314662623259&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12417489204398016119&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hv...
