Oh, that's right, I do recall reading that they had electronic ignition. Cool! Carbs will definitely be the first thing I take care of, alongwith the cam belt. I need to get a decent flywheel puller, as I only have a 2-arm one that keeps trying to fall over at a slight angle whenI try to use it. I don't want to disk bending the nose of the crank. I'll get a 3-arm one.
Good to know -- thanks!Also, all indications are that this is a 1975, not a 1976 (just titled as a 1976). The paint scheme, the fuel tank and side covers shape ('76 have sharper corners, '75 more rounded), and the VIN all say 1975 (which looks better, IMHO).
Use the correct puller - it threads into the center of the flywheel. It's M27-1.25 thread.
Thanksgiving Day is supposed to be the warmest of this week, so I hope to get out for a few hours then.
The correct puller threads into the rotor once you remove the securing nut. The puller uses the pressure of a center bolt to pop the rotor off. Don’t use a two or three arm puller, very easy to damage the rotor. I can check the size of the puller threads when I am at my shop tomorrow
https://www.mdinaitalia.co.uk/M490117.htmlAll period road tests complained about the Morini foot peg position and all called for rear sets, none of the original 350 or 500 bikes had rear foot controls. The Tarrozzi units are a bit of a compromiseI have the Tarrozzi rear sets on my Morini 500. The Tarrozzi rear sets foul the kick starter, not a problem on the electric start 500 but a deal breaker on the kick only bike. I made a kickstart extender for my 500 based on the no longer available NLM unit, I think the picture of the piece shows up on Mdina Italy’s web site. https://www.mdinaitalia.co.uk/M380115MOD.htmlEasy enough to make if you have access to a milling machine. The Tarrozzi keeps the left hand shift and the conventional shift pattern. JimRight hand view of the Tarozzi rear sets mounted to a 500home made kick starter extension piece fitted in-between the knuckle and leverI still have to lift up the left side foot peg before swinging the kick lever and it will still glance the tip of the brake pedal but it works, I could make a pivot to the brake lever tip or shorten the pedal but it worksI have been fiddling with the location of the foot peg and the rotating piece behind the foot peg to get the best shift action out off the rear sets, I have also replaced the piece on the transmission shift shaft with a piece with a longer arm to increase leverage, its hard to shift between 2 and 3, its along rotation of the shift drum and sometimes I have to pull the foot peg up with my heel, I still need to adjust it more.
