Tim,
Thanks a lot. I am going to go to the Guzzi dealer here and see what he has
today other than the $110 new GUzzi regulator. Will also take the regulator
to an auto parts store to see if they have a similar looking regulator.
Also, I think I need a new generator as I think this one is beat. I am
beginning to figure that if I change out generator and regulator combined
with me just refurbishing the starter I ought to have a more reliable bike.
Man, this process sure is time consuming! Thanks again Tim, BOb

I took it to a good shop and the tech tested the generator, and then they sold me a regulator that was for |
| '65 Ford, for $10. It was identical to the regulator as shown in the Loopframe repair manual. It worked for a while then my system went out, |
| it was the generator. I since had Mark, at MG Classics rewire most of it, and he put on a good generator and regulator. The same tech just rebuilt my starter. I will see what he gets for them, |
| what they are in other places. I think thhis is mentioned in the Tips |
| too. Current wisdom has it that you need the Marelli regulator, or a Lucas. |
| the Lucas was only about $35 dollars, last time I checked.
