New owner from Scotland
« on: October 20, 2020, 03:45:00 PM »
Hi,just took delivery of a 400/4 with a fair bit of expense thrown at it ,but would appreciate if anyone can recommend a workshop near Glasgow/Paisley I could use to get the carburettors set up properly.The have been refurbished & cleaned internally but its needing final adjustments.
The bike is looking tidy but I would like to have the engine & cases vapour blasted ,they have been painted and not very well on close inspection,,cheers peter

I'm showing my age I've never hears of Moto Morini  but I had a Maico Letta so no excuse really. I like the V layout.

Lol you must be a young thing if you haven’t heard of Moto morini,,I lusted after one in the early 70s before buying mine in 1982 to compliment my 400/4.Then sold them both because of my expanding family.
Now I’m retired it was time to turn the clock back,,happy days 😁

I was born in 1948 so not young although as I pass each decade my mind feels the same its just my engine and ancillaries that need a Honda style rebuild. lol

I'm guessing the Moto Morini was a tad exclusive back in the day.

Not really, had a few through the workshop. 500 used to burn valves from memory, spares were never easy and expensive
