LaNasa,

There is nothing I would like to see more than to see your speedster self on
a loop, especially when you would dust squids at bear mountain. However, I
am afraid the days of the Group Home Garage [current occupants: my loop and
triumph, roomates '76 cb550, buddy's '78 R100] are numbered. The lease on
the house/garage I have been renting for the past 5 years is coming up and
the roomies and I are moving out. I am currently scouring the outer boroughs
for a place with a garage.

PS Random guzzi sighting - have you seen the bar downtown (east village I
think) with a guzzi (pretty sure its an eldo) pictured on the awning as part
of a pack of bikes (think the others are triumph and HD). I'll snap a photo
when I remember where it is.

Chris,

I'll buy it if I can keep it in your garage along with the keys.

Tom

PS. Of course I want to but four bikes in a pay garage in
Manhattan.........plus I wouldn't be able to get the sidecar out the
front door.

Now if I can just find that supercharger that someone posted...

Yep,

I am sure that I will feel the air being sucked out of my apartment
in
 Manhattan when that engine ignites in Queens. Small babies and old
people
 beware.

Tom,

I have 40mm carbs on my project which can be seen in this
picture:

I'm afraid the rest of the shots aren't that helpful because I
have
 
 the
carbs bagged. They are rubber mounted. Not sure about the
adjusting
 
 screws
(haven't had to tune them yet!) but I'll take a peek tonight. If
I
 
 can get a
digital camera I'll snap some more pics if you want.

Bought a pair of 40 mm round slide Dellortos for my Eldo off
Ebay
 
 and when
 I
got them I discovered they are set up for a wrong angle v-twin
(both sets
 of
adjusting screws are on the same side). Is this a something a
machine shop
 can do, or do I need to find a specialist in carb work? Seems
to
 
 me it
 should be fairly straight forward, but not sure. Reason for
the
 
 big carbs
 is
88mm sleeves and pistons and bigger valve heads. My goal is a
nice
 
 looking
 bike like Freds and lots of power.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. TIA
Tom
