take your time looking at the wiring diagram , the stock wiring looks like a mess ( they are all like that!)but it is well thought out. there is some method in this madnessbasically all the parts have their own wiring harness, and everything connects at the fuse box. so any electrical problem can be found by removing the side cover, and measuring at the fuse box. no sparks? measure the green wire from the generator. still no sparks? measure the green wire from the emergency stop. still nothing? check the contact switch. ( you guessed , another green wire in the fuse box).pretty brilliant if you are used to guzzi electrics , where they tend to connect everything inside the headlight/ fuse box or even halfway down the harness etc.....
Spaghetti !As I took the wire harness sections apart it did start to make sense, and I can rebuild / copy each segment one step at a time. Same fuse box and solenoid as a V7 Sport.

Where did you source that most excellent Moto Guzzi print on the left with the different models? Everything is looking great! This will be a gem...
Spectacular as always Jim! Good job on the horn, I have to see if I can do the same on my Alfa, it got two horns on it and they sound like they have a cold -Ulrik
...the crank white metal bush sits in a steel ring, got the ring real hot and the old bush was driven out, then reheat the steel retainer and push the new cold bush into place. The white bush retainer ring is held to the crankcase with three 3mm bolts, uses 3mm studs threaded into the retainer to guide the retainer / bush into the hot case, once cool removed the guide studs and then fitted the 3mm bolts.
Did you remember to put the copper washers on the 3 mm bolts? I couldn't for the life of me figure out where those three tiny copper washers that Stuart sent me went. One of the guys on the Morini Facebook group set me right eventually. They're not used on early 3 1/2 Sport engines like I was building, since it has ball-bearings on both ends of the crank.Enjoying this build more than the Guzzi ones.
Yep, are they there as an oil seal?
Yes, crush washers to prevent oil leakage.
Thanks Charlie!The Moto Morini repair manual talks about making sleeved covers to go over the shafts to protect the oil seals during assembly of the bottom end, never done this before. What are your thoughts / recommendations for fitting the gear clusters and crank through the oil seals during assembly?
I do love the results you get with ultrasonic cleaning Jim. What gear do you use?
