The main thing to be aware of is the valve train. At 17K miles, it's either already blown or ready to. That will require new valves and springs at the very least. It looks like quite a bit of new paint, for whatever reason. The right carb is tilted weirdly for whatever reason, and is leaking fuel. That fuel stain probably won't clean up. It'll need the rear drive mod and the transmission breather mod. If the transmission was run low on oil per Guzzi's recommendation, (because it didn't have the breather mod) 5th gear will probably whine. If it does, it won't get any better.That's the worst of it. It has the very desirable Euro turnsignals, and generally the antique parts are there.
Hey, Stay away from my possible Lario! I fully expect to pull the heads first thing and find someone who can flow & redo the valves with something that lasts longer than 15,000 miles.Mark
Also the small block Bevel Box should be rebuilt. I've had a bad experience
If I wasn't such an idiot I'd just get a newer V7 racer to renovate.
At the other end, the u-joint in my old V50III let go one day as I was coming home from a romp in the mountains. Forget the cardan shaft, rebuilding the transmission (because the tunnel in which the joint fits was torn apart) was the FUN part. No, wait, PAYING for it all was the fun part.
OK -- I get the hint. note to self, purchase a new u-joint and have the boy replace it. heck of a lot better than buying another caseA 2013 or new V7 racer just keeps looking better and better.Mark
