Well I am selling the motor from a salvage bike. The wiring was all burnt
up. Someone wanted to put it in a eldo and wanted to know what it involved.

I seem to recall that the newer motors will not accept a distributer
drive cam, but I can't remember the details of why. Maybe there's not
enough room for the drive gear, or something like that- sorry my memory
is foggy on this. huh? wha?
Why not use the computer ignition? It works well.
cheers,
Jason

This question is more towards the newer models, but maybe some one will
know. I have a almost new (less than 300 mile from new) 1100cc Guzzi
motor
for sale. I have a guy who wants to put it in a eldo. I put a 86
square
barrel motor in my eldo and it was not to hard. The main difference
between
this and what I did was the ignition, Can he just install a cam (with
distributor drive) and say a T3 distributor (after he removes the
distributor hole cover) and not worry about using a computer ignition
system
?

I noticed that Stan was running a old style distributor on his 1100
Sport
BOTT racer. Is this all there is to it ?
