As far as I know, it should all use metric threads unless it has some
police add on accessories (lights, wind screen, etc) or Wixom accessories
(fairing & bags), which were done here in the states and they could use
standard thread. If it is a 74 and has Amal Carbs, some of the internals
are whitworth

Actually probably should be Guzzi mio.
I has the erratic tach. Check and cleaned the points. Spot on at
.016. Tach wires were reversed, however. Tach is much better, but still
seems underdamed when changing engine speed. Holds steady when at
constant speed but wanders when speed is changing. Is this normal?
Installed my homebuilt turnsignal switch. Looks and works fine. The bike
rides much better, and has a lot more power than originally. Kinda pulls
you back with the second gar roll on. Feel like it'd like to wheely. I
suspect I have high performance top end--the compression tester read 180#!
Triva quiz: What part of the Eldorado uses US threads? Whitworth?
I think I'm going to like this bike!!

US thread--Turn signal stalks. Also the screws that hold the snuffbox
switches on.
