Well where are we,
As far as I know the bike has never been opened, pretty sure cause my dad
has owned it since the early 70's and it was running when he got it. I have
checked the timing marks of TDC to piston TDC and both valves are closed, so
more than likely the cam is in ok. I will double check the Jets again, the
slide is in correctly, as I told Ian I tried to put them in backwards once
just to see the effect and couldn't get em in. I'll probably give you a
call this week Mark.
What is your guys opinion on the heavy blow by, I haven't opened the
cyclinders, but compression check yeilded just under 150 psi on both sides
(close to equal with 1 or 2 psi). I am now wondering if the chrome is
peeling, however the bike isn't smoking, well a little with the choke on.
Well seems as a group we are on a mission to get this bike running better.
Thanks for the help I always try all suggestions. BTW is there anybody in
the Biloxi MS area on this list, I found out I am moving there in Apr and
looking for a Guzzi person there.

In order to get an engine to run properly the cam must be synchronized with the crankshaft. Then the distributor must be synchronized with the camshaft. Even if you did pull the distributor and move it a tooth or two one way or another it would not fix the problem if the cam and crank were not in their proper places with respect to one another. I admit that this is a long shot, but if somebody has torn down the engine, and all other attempts have failed, then it might be time to pull the front cover(s) off and check the synchronization marks.
