General Discussion / Dual Point timing procedure help
« Last post by Vecchio Lupo on Today at 05:06:48 PM »
Yes, I admit to being thick headed. I read the Guzzi shop manual. I read Guzziology, and I have experience with a timing light.  Im trying to fix my shortcut cuz im a dope.

My 77 Convert was running pretty darn good. Since it was being painted, I decided to service everything I could think of. Got to points.....instead of leaving well enough alone, I got new ones.

I swapped out the points and set the gap and she started right up and idled and revved fine in garage.

After reassembly and out on the road....Power felt just a hair down, I thought I could hear pre detonation at higher rpm, also highway cruising was harder than before (engine seemed to be working too hard).

Got me thinking Im retarded at idle and cant get enough advance.     OK. I dont have a timing light here with me, but I do have a multi meter and test light, my plan is to static time for now.

Flywheel at "D"...line above the D is static timing line according to manual. on both sides of the line my points are open, so Im thinking I need to rotate the distributer till Im on that verge of activation and set...then use the minor plate adjustment for the "S" left side.

I just dont want to make a boneheaded mistake.....Im looking for a simplified procedure if it exist. YES as soon as I get $500 I'll get Dyna III and coils.

Til then ??????

I knew exactly what Bulldog9 meant.  I always think of a picture I saw taken at some protest of a neck beard holding a sign that said"

"YOUR A BUNCH OF MORANS!"
Ahhh yes.
Now I get it, that angle makes it funny…. :boozing: :thumb: :weiner:

Meant to share these back in August (got into a bad car accident I'm still working through)

Dropped this baby off to Carlo at Moto Motori in Toronto for some Moto Guzzi TLC.













Buon natale / Merry Christmas everyone!

Whenever I watch these types of videos, when i focus on the the manufacturing support tooling needed, I am amazed that anything can be produced at an affordable price.

The miracle of mass production!!

This is interesting. I sold a Jeep to a friend and put my name on the title as the lien holder. The new title never came back to me because he never registered it. He moved out of state and I had no contact information, he wouldn't return phone calls. He still owes me $2,500. A couple years ago he moved back to Cali, not too far away. I went to DMV to get a duplicate title, I was told it dropped out of the records. After sitting outside for years I don't even want it back even though it is a pretty cool Jeep, CJ3B with a Buick V6 and a lot of other extras. Turns out he has stiffed a lot of other guys so recouping the money he still owes me is probably not going to happen.

Man, that stinks......oh well, he'll get his some day....maybe not by you but by someone or something.

I got choked up watching this, kind of like when I watched When Harry Met Sally.
