I presume Guzzi got on top of the oil consumption issue at some stage, because my V9 use about nil oil.

Hi Peter...indeed, the new set I have has 4 holes...I was mistaken above mentioning 6. 

Shoot me your mailing address via PM and I'll get a package out to you this weekend!

They have a IW162 number on them, same ones I've put in my Norge years ago, all working just fine.

You may be able to find them on Ebay as well...here's a reference for the future.

Peter...there are 2 types of fuel injectors, so you'll need to the ones that are compatible.  Some have 6 holes, some have 12.  When you look on Ebay, make sure it says it's compatible with your model, as the fuel injectors used for 2V are different than 4V.

I have a brand new set of the 6 hole ones (non OEM) that I can send you if you like for postage plus $30 bucks in case you cannot find them on Ebay (which is where I sourced a pair of non OEM ones, and they work perfectly also).  You can get 10 non OEM pairs for the price of 1 OEM...

Glad you found the problem!

Mine has 4 holes..


If yours will do the job Paul, I think I’ll take your offer.

My wife is my wingman when it comes to buying bikes. She rides along to get most of them helping me load/unload them and also checks FBMP several times a week to see if there is something I might be interested in.

My wife is supportive and tolerant. Part of that is whatever I do has to be cash, comes out of the 'hobby fund' and doesn't impact the family budget. She just rolls her eyes when I bring another one home. The best part is she now looks for cars/motorcycles like mine.

In case your harness needs repair:

And, I think the state of the electrical connector had everything to do with your problem.  I've seen that and worse on automotive FI systems, although usually it was rodent damage.

Thanks for that link

Nope.  GOOD bourbon in the side bag.  Keep your beer.

I'm in the process of buying a cosmetically neglected V7C: I is scared! 
Good luck in sorting it out, one way or another.

The Ironhead Sportster is one of the icons of motorcycle design.  Along with:

Moto Guzzi Lemans I
1969 Triumph Bonneville.

That's it.  There are no others.
