Rich,
Have you checked the plug wires and all connections are tight?
My left cylinder was very weak until I put fresh wires and terminals on.
Also, look in the distributor cap receptacles too. burnish out any
corrosion.
Do the wire to coil too.

Good luck. Keep us posted on results
Pete

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

Rick,

Tell us the nature of the bike not running right. 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

thorugh

the monsoon rains :-)

I'm still jealous though ;-)

Regards...Ian

Hi,
Confirmation on getting the UNIs in the Airbox. I put the unis on my

bike

and tried the fite and the side covers, looked good.
I cleaned the carb on the left side today and re-checked the valve
clearance. Running better than it was but still not smooth. Any way

got

go around the block a couple of times, better than nothing, of course

was

60 today awsome.

Rick
