Greetings Fellow Loopers,
After 1.5 years, I think my Ambo is almost ready to come home from the 2
mechanics whom dragged their feet getting her fixed up for me, one fixed
some things and messed others up (Guzzi dealer), the other, fixed the
Guzzi dealers errors but at the same time created cosmetic problems
(there inlies the problem with having a friend mechanic fix your m/c for
free - can't complain about time or care of m/c since it was free work).
Bike appears to be near 100% mechanically, too long of a list of things
to state here other than nearly everything has been replaced, just hope
that chrome holds up in the cylinders, that's basically the only thing
untouched on this machine! Only thing he didn't do is the timing, said
it seemed complicated in the manual and I agree. Is the timing process
simple enough for a mechanical novice like myself to do, or should I run
back up to the Guzzi shop and watch him do it while I wait?
Appreciate any advice/timing directions.
