Gary,
I don't have your Email and though I am sure I would enjoy chating
with you I am not the one with the problem. That is Divid Szenasy.
When I restored my first Eldo I spent most of two day trying to
start it. Didn't succeed untill I disconnected the tach, Bike started right
up, reconnected the tach and never had problem again. Why? anybody's guess,
maybe polarity????? I know that can affect coils and generators, but??

Subject: Day two with "new" Eldo, still won't startGary gave me some terrific pointers on synching my carbs. That is
tookI
have spark, fuel is there, I think my compression is bad because..I
aoutthe 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
thestuck valve? Also, can a compression test worth anything be done if
engine is cold?
Puzzled and anxious to get this started...it is my first Guzzi!
