Hi,
Well it looks like the left cylinder decides not to fire all the time. I
am about convinced it is the timing as I haven't put a light on it yet. I
have both sides firing now but it is poping alot. Plugs are burning black
and the mufflers as well, but I need to do a real road test once the timing
is set up. I wish you could see it now with the seat and battery covers on
it, if I had it running as good as it looks I'd be riding everyday :-). I
am going to try to get a timing light this week, but I am not sure how to
use it on a Guzzi, do I use the inductor on the left cylinder plug or the
right ect, I followed the Guzzi manual by setting the left cylinder TDC and
adjusted lifters and visual on open points on the correct cylinder. Boy
once that other cylinder kicked in it really sounds like a VTwin :-).
Rick

Does it idle well? How about acceleration? Is it rough at high rpms? Are the plugs Black? I feel like this is a detective story. Putting together the clues to sort the problem out :-) By the way, thanks for confirming that the airbox fits nicely over the Uni's. Guess what I am doing tomorrow?...that's right painting the airbox and installing in on the bike :-) Yeah Yeah. Enjoy that beautiful weather...cause in another 5 months, while we are basking in the beautiful spring weather here in the north, you will be trying to breath in the unbearable heat and humidity as you ride |
| the monsoon rains :-) I'm still jealous though ;-) Regards...Ian
