Morini MO1 Start Cable Versions

The three left photos A,B,C are Malaguti Commuters with Morini MO-1 Gyromat “side pull” engine. The start cable goes through the frame and pulls sideways. It enters the frame through a large hole on the left above the flywheel. The conduit stops at a small hole on the right.

The two right photos D,E are non-Malaguti mopeds with Morini MO-1 Gyromat and non-Gyromat “front pull” engines. The start cable does not go through the frame. Instead it is “backwards” because the inner wire is fixed and the conduit moves with the start lever arm.

This also shows that some Gyromat branded MO-1 engines have side-pull type clutch covers, and some have forward-pull type clutch-transmission covers.

 

 


Cable Anchors

 

Domino Socket Bolts: 1970’s Italian moped brake levers and start lever use these adapter pieces to convert the pear end to a longer sideways barrel. They are more than just an adapter, because they have a slot for the inner wire to pass through, to allow installation. There are two lengths, 16mm for brake levers, and 14mm for decomp/start levers. It is important to have the cable wire centered in the lever. So there is a groove that the sheet metal lever sits in when the lever is squeezed. That groove keeps the socket bolt from sliding sideways. Without that groove, the cable still functions, but maybe not as well, or it might make a “click” sound and feel, when it does not stay centered. A longer one will substitute for a short one, with a 8mm washer under it. But the washer covers the centering groove, so it might not perform as well as an original.
