Did it fall off the dock twenty years ago and just now dredged up? It looks horrible and can't imagine it being good for anything but scrap or some of the parts. The aluminum is badly pitted and the steel badly rusted. The starter probably is total rust inside. Good luck getting the carbs apart to rebuild. With the cost of replacing so many parts, is it worth it? I wouldn't think so.
@antietam classic cycle thanks for the leads and links. I’ve got a question though, I’ve got a v35II as well as an imola parts manual and the bearing number for front are 19065623 for rear are 19066522 and the con rods shells are listed as 19062022 You've listed some part number that are totally different. Is there something I’m missing here? Did Moto Guzzi update numbers or are these aftermarket production numbers?
@hubb thank you so much for the offer with that frame, I will make an assessment of what I have when it’s back from bead blasting and keep your offer in mind. Do you remember the model of Renault car that the clutch was from. Most auto ancillary parts are manufactured in India and we have access to them, it would definitely be worth a look.
I've found that the satisfaction gained from bringing something back from the long dead is very rewarding. I'm happy you've got your head in the right place about this project. I think you'll have fun!
Hello everyone,Here’s wishing all of you a great start to 2020. Things were a bit slow over the holidays, but just today I got a whole load of parts back from bead blasting. They’ve all cleaned up really well and I’m really stoked. Although there are a couple of speed bumps to jump over before I begin reassembly. The clutch casing and the bottom part of the engine block has some serious damage due to water and silt siting in the clutch housing. The plan is to fill it up with some TIG weld and grind and file it down and shape it. The gearbox also has signs pitting from the water damage but it’s only superficial, so I think it’ll be ok.
You couldn’t have said it better.
