Rich, I had a 4LS Amal-carb Eldorado in Canada back in the '70's which was registered as a '74 model. It didn't stop really well, although I didn't spend a lot of time trying to set it up. When I got another Eldo for restoration, I looked for a disk brake model, which stops a lot better. Brian

I'm curious, Do those 4LS frontends actually stop? That would be different. I spend a lot of money on my 'flintstone' brakes that I use on my Ambo ;-)

Yes, mine is a 4 shoe which origionally was outfitted with Amal carbs. This is why I refer to it as a 73.5 and call the disc brake version a true 74. I don't think Guzzi made changes based on a specific time of year. Also, I have noticed that these 4-shoe/Amal equipped bikes were usually titled as 74's. John S. 73.5 Eldo Civ.
