I thought you said it was a 500? Presumably the parts include a twin disk brake front wheel ? How many gears has it got? More than 1 reg/rec and 2 transducers (black boxes) suggests interesting times ahead armed with a multimeter. One of the charms of Morinis is the wide variety of interchangeability of fairly major components, but this can lead to some strange hybrids. The scope for functional in a fashion but fucked up ignition alone can be challenging. My money is now on the Beeza, but at least it sounds like you may have some spare stuff Ebayable to finance the rebuild. Drum brake parts can command a surprising price, and if you happened to have 350 Sport front twin sided single leading shoe stuff, truly staggering amounts. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: Peter(a)ps-fisher.demon.co.uk | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest * 2 Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +----------------------------------------------------------------+
