Have you checked the valve clearance?

| Gary gave me some terrific pointers on synching my carbs. That is done, I have spark, fuel is there, I think my compression is bad because..I took |
| the plugs, placed my finger over the hole to tried to find the compression stroke, and could feel no pressure. The previous owner said he put in new top end gasket kit, but does this sound like a blown gasket, or maybe a stuck valve? Also, can a compression test worth anything be done if the engine is cold? Puzzled and anxious to get this started...it is my first Guzzi! David _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at |
