As seen on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/671911083710838/
Frame #: A/2 07074, Engine #: 07074
Clear Pennsylvania Title
Known history: I purchased this Moto several years ago from a gentleman in Philadelphia. At some point in its life, this Strada was "Sportified", but I don't have any history as to when or by whom. The title has 9,013 miles indicated and the odometer has 1,973 - I don't know why there is this discrepancy and cannot verify the accuracy of either of these.
Work performed under my ownership:
- new clutch plates
- carburetor rebuild
- oil/filter change
- new instrument cluster rubber holders (from Start Gomma)
- repaired air intake hose (have new ones from Start Gomma)
- new battery (2015?, always under trickle charge)
I have always stored this bike inside a garage and only have run ethanol-free gasoline. I have ridden this bike very little over the past several years, estimating less than 500.
It starts easily on 2-3 kicks with both chokes open and idles smoothly. I took it out today (10/10/2021) for about 50 miles and adjusted the fuel mixture screw to tune in the carbs. It runs well, but sometimes stalls at stops and I noticed a slight hesitation when giving it throttle. It will most likely need a carb adjustment and sync to get it fine-tuned.
Misc:
- original took kit
- repair manual
- engine gasket kit
- misc. old parts
Terms of Sale: $4,500 cash, PayPal, Venmo, or cashier's check
Delivery options:
1) Local pickup (will provide address upon down payment of $500)
2) Willing to deliver within 120 miles of zip code 16412
3) Ship - this option is up to the buyer

This looks very cool to me...
I know you're are more of an originality guy Charlie, but do you have any thoughts on this resto-mod? Seems like the price is iffy? But I know these are pretty rare stateside.. I certainly have only seen one Morini in the flesh

Swap back to the original seat and 'bars and it's pretty much original. Odd that he used the '78 and later "duck tail" Sport seat, rather than the early rounded solo.
Price seems good to me. Early drum-brake Morinis (whether Strada or Sport) seem to bring higher prices than later disk-brake bikes.

I always prefer a ducktail to a bump! I am surprised the drum brake models are more desirable than the disks. Its really very cool. I'm glad I dont have a truck right now, I keep seeing sub-$5k bikes I love, very dangerous!

Looks good to me. Although, like Charlie said, I’d much rather see the rounded sport seat.

Thank you. I've wanted one of these for a long time. I could swear this is the very bike that I missed out on 6 or 7 years ago when for sale
near Philladelphia. The seller bought it from a seller in Philladelphia in the same time frame.

:thumb: Let me know if you have any questions. I'm not an authority on Morinis, but I've done quite a few now, have made special tools, know sources for things, etc.
My own '77 Strada. After seven months of doing nothing, I'm back at work on it and getting closer all the time to being finished.

Thank you, Charlie, I'll definitely hit you up with any questions. I've been watching your restoration of the '77 Strada, and remember you had a K2 as well
The seller doesn't know when the cam belt was changed, so, I guess I'll be doing that in short order. If there is anything else that I need to
be on the lookout for, please let me know.

$4,000 · Newton, NH
Selling my 1978 Moto Morini 3 1/2 Strada . I picked it up this summer because I always wanted one. I have not had much time with it. I got it running well brought it to a few bike shows and that was about it. Now I have found something else I want to move on to. This is a rare little bike. It could use some more fine tuning I just have not had the time. Sold with a bill of sale and a few previous registrations. Also comes with a box of small parts and manuals.

Like most Italian bikes, it is going to need some sorting. I took it for a quick ride when I got home. It is only running on the front
cylinder most of the time, with occasional surges of power from the rear. I turned around and went back home. A quick check with
the non-contact thermometer showed 230 degrees Fmon the front head near the exhaust port, and 120 on the rear.
The spark plugs and wires are secure. That's all the time I had this evening for investigation. I guess first thing is I'll pull out the timing light and see if I'm getting spark on that rear cylinder.
Before I do that though I want to replace the cam belt. Thanks to Charlie's info, I've already got one in hand.
Does anyone (Charlie?) know, does the Sport have more rear-set foot pegs and controls than the Strada? I'd think that it should as, the Strada
footpeg position is a bit awkward with the clip-ons (IMHO).

My K2 did that when the stator winding that powers the transducers was failing. There is a green wire coming from the stator and connects at the fuse block. Disconnect that and connect an ohmmeter - one lead to that green wire and the other to a ground. You're looking for ~ 220 ohms, 180 will still work, less than that may not.

I'll definitely give that a check.

Update on the running problem.....
I had a little time this morning to check out the Morini. The stator coil for the ignition circuit checks out fine. The problem is definitely fuel and not spark. I started it up and ran it a bit. The front cylinder is definitely warming up much more quickly, but, the rear is firing, as it runs real fast if I have the enrichener on for the rear cylinder, much more so than the front, but, in both cases, turning the enrinchener on/off affects the engine speed as it should. I guess it is time to pull the carbs and thoroughly check jetting, needle, etc. I've got no more time today to work on it, so, that will wait until another day. I should also obtain gaskets for the carbs before digging into them.
I also did not yet check timing, I guess it could be a timing problem as well. I'm new to Morini. Does this bike have points? I'm going to assume dual points, so, one set could be off.

No, Morinis have electronic ignition, one of the first production bikes to be so equipped. The pickup is one-piece, so the cylinders can't be timed individually.

It is not unusual for the rear (sometimes front, usually the rear) float to stick. I would clean and rebuild the Dell'Ortos now before attempting any other troubleshooting. Kits for the VHBH are relatively inexpensive. Definitely replace the float valves and guides (they come as sets) too.
The seating position for the Sport is terrible. It is the same as for the Strada, and even then the pegs are too far forward IMO. I finally installed Tarozzi rearsets on my Sport many years ago and it transformed everything in the best manners possible: Better control, better comfort. I can ride much longer with the Tarozzis than the original pegs. The two (or three) considerations are that rearsets revert to right-side shift (which makes it more precise but does require a small mental leap) and the rear brake pedal clouts the starter. I already had an NLM swan-neck kickstart lever (unobtanium now), but there still may be extender knuckles available to use with the later straight kickstart lever. I shortened the Tarozzi brake lever bit that you press with your foot and it clears the kickstart well enough.
The other caveat with Tarozzis: They can be a bit fragile. The shift lever threaded rod broke on me while riding in Germany. It was stuck in second gear and I could not start and then engage a higher gear to permit safe riding on the autobahn, so it was towed home. It might be prudent to get a few spares if you get the Tarozzi kit.

Yeah, that's the plan. I'll put 'em through the ultrasonic, make sure everything is nice and clean and put new floats and gaskets in them and then see how they are before doing anything else.

Yeah, I can already tell from the short ride that I did that it needs rear sets, just as my '77 Le Mans does. I'm OK with going back to right foot shift, as it should also then be GP shift pattern too, correct? I've already three right-shift Ducatis ('74 750GT, '70 Mk3D 450, and '66 Monza 250).

One can save a few $$ by replacing just the float needle. The needle and seat set is $21.00 (on MG Cycle) and the needle by itself is only $4.62.

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, along
with 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 when
I 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.

Like most Italian motorcycle companies, there is no definitive "this part was used only during this period". My '77 Strada has the rounded side covers. :grin:

Update on the 3 1/2...
I was about to pull the carbs for a full tear down to inspect and clean, but, first I went for real low-hanging fruit. I pulled the jet holders and measured the fuel in the bowls, it was about the same. Just for grins, I swapped the float bowl nuts (which also hold the main jets) started it up, and warmed it up. It idles way too fast with both enricheners on, so, I alternated them until it was warmed up and got equal temps on the exhaust ports and got it to idle with them both off. Then I took it for a ride. It ran great, most of the time, but, sometimes hesitated under 3/4 to full throttle. I think there is likely gunk of some kind in the holder/jet that was in the rear, and by removing them, I disturbed it enough to get it to at least run on both cylinders. I’ll pull both out and take the jets out and give them a good cleaning. It idles fine once warmed up, and is running well aside from the little hesitation that it does under power (thinking main jet gunk), so, I likely won’t pull the rest of the carbs apart if cleaning the main and holders does the job.
Pic after getting back home from riding it late yesterday afternoon.

I definitely love riding the Morini! It just may be my new favorite vintage bike to ride, a title that my Ducati 750GT has had for the 2 1/2 years that I’ve owned it. It is like a small block Guzzi, but, much lighter, and of course, the engine runs at higher revs, but, is not buzzy or peaky or anything like that.
It feels as light to ride (though, is actually about 50# heavier) as my Ducati Monza 250, but, with nearly twice the power (not that it is powerful, but, the 250 is kinda slow). I’d love to be able to find a double drum brake for the from though, as the brakes are a little lacking, but, adequate for its light weight. It definitely feels more nimble than my '76 Honda CB400F, which is of course, similar in displacement and vintage.

Today probably the last day with the temps around 50F, so, might be the last ride for the little Morini
until spring as I will likely stick to my R1200RS with its wind protection and heated grips until spring.

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

All 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 compromise
I 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.

Easy enough to make if you have access to a milling machine. The Tarrozzi keeps the left hand shift and the conventional shift pattern.

I 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.

I've already obtained the proper puller. I don't know what I was thinking when I was trying the arm-type ones. I've even used thread-in pullers in the past (Chinese clone of small single-cylinder Honda).

Yeah, I do need to get rear sets, or have some made (I don't have the tools or skills). The foot peg location is too forward, especially with the clip-ons. It isn't as bad as my Mk1 Le Mans though. That's another bike that screams for rear sets.
