Welcome to the list Al, Do you have a serial number for that bike? If you do
I would love to add you to my Loopframe list.
To your questions:
| I've got a 72 Eldo that sat for over a decade and is in pretty rough shape. |
As long as the bike hasn't been sitting in water the internals are likely ok
with exception of the cylinder bores. They were prone to flaking.
| The front brakes have an adjustable piece that fits between the "actuating levers." Is this piece held in with pins and cotter pins or nuts & bolts? |
I assume you are talking about the rod that sits between the brake actuating
cams? I believe that it is a threaded rod that you adjust with a nut. The
part that you attach to the brake cam is attached with a cotter pin and the
threaded rod screws into that. I'm sure someone can send you a schematic
from the parts manual.
| Where is a good place to buy Dell'Orto parts? My choke pistons were stuck and I had to damage them to get 'em out. |
Choke levers found at MG Cycle, MG Classics, Etc.....
| My wrist pins were sloppy in the bushings and I was told to replace them |
split. Is
| there a correct orientation for the split? Anybody ever used these things? |
You can buy Guzzi wrist pins at any of the suppliers above I believe.
Hope all goes well with your project. There are a great many people on this
list that will be able to guide you along the way.
