Zerhackerman,
Sorry to be tedious, but when you say "put a voltmeter on the battery" do
you mean put the meter leads, one on positive, one on negative and then
measure as you rev the bike? With a normal battery what should the
voltmeter read as I do this?? Thanks for the help. Bob

Robert,
DO the easy tests first. Hook a voltmeter on the battery and run it up
through the rpms. How much is being put into the battery? Old battery? Old
=
 1 year or more or sat through the winter with no battry tender.
If the voltage doesn't rise above 12.XX even with a new battery, the
votage
 reg might be bad. Or the generator.

This is based upon experience with BMW alternator set ups. SOme guzzi
variations may apply.

Mark,
Can you streatch out the spings or do you need to install new springs?

Also, Mark, thanks for helping me last week. I called you from
Rochester,
 
 NY about my 69 Ambo not firing on the starboard plug. You suggested
installing #45 jets in the carbs. I took the carbs to the dealer and he
gave
me #45s for both carbs. The bike now runs on both cylinders!! I took it
for a 35 mi run this weekend and it ran fine!!! Thanks to you! When I
got
 
 the bike home I shut her off and then tried to restart it only to find
out
 
 that the battery was not charged. This was a problem when I first bought
the bike and now that I have had it out long enough to ride around it has
come to my attention again. Do you think the generator needs new
brushes?
 
 Do you think it's a regulator poblem? Again, thanks for your help. Bob
Hawkes
