Can anybody advise me the quantity of oil I should put in the Marzocchi 35mm forks on my 250 Desmo? And should I pour it through the plug at the top of each fork? I'm in the process of rebuilding the forks.....

The 250-350-450 M3/D/SCR user manual, 3rd edition, April 1974 says (as per fork leg):
Ceriani forks (disk brake, Desmo model): 170cc AGIP F.1 OSO55
Marzocchi forks (drum brake, M3 model): 200cc AGIP F.1 Rotra ATF
Marzocchi forks (drum brake, SCR model): 230cc AGIP F.1 Rotra ATFAGIP OSO:

Thanks for that Hans - I have fork oil from Vintage Ducati in Rimini, I'm assuming that it vvill be fine.
