hi keith.
I have a 73 eldorado with external shift spring . I just bought it
last saturday. Try this #213-246-9748 woods motor shop in glendale ca. I
got the old sales flyer.

| Greetings All, Spoke with my Guzzi mechanic last eve to tell him the spring busted again. He wasn't surprised as this is a common occurrence with Loppframes, attributes this busted spring to probably an old 20 year shelf life replacement spring. He mentioned that he thought there was some sort of external spring kit that was devised which allows you to leave the busted spring in place and just add an external spring/kit to fix the problem. Anybody know about this kit or where I can get one? Else, we'll need the instructions on how to get the spring out and replace it on a 4 speed Ambo transmission. As for the other problems I have noted previously, the gen warning light is on because the gen is indeed bad. My auto mechanic is now doing all of the work for me as I have lost trust in the Guzzi shop. Tom, my mechanic, is awesome with cars and m/c's, and is more of a friend than just my mechanic. He enjoys working on m/c's as a change of pace too. He wants to rebuild my generator in his shop and was wondering if there is a rebuild kit available, any info on this? He is going to look closer at this oil leak too, hope it is not leaking from a spot where oil is not supposed to be. Looks to be just behind that oil vent hole in the engine case, and just in front of the oil drain plug where it appears the trans case and engine meet. BTW, the main seal has been replaced. Hopefully all of this can be resolved without any major work (again!) and I can finally start riding this Ambo instead of looking at her sitting needing service. My mechanic calls her the Jaguar of m/c's, looks great but always in the shop for something, especially electric work..... Thanx for any help/info. Keith Ruff 71 Police Amabassador - NJ |
