I agree, Charlie.
At least the V65 needs to expel more air.

There is a not very active SmallBlock forum over on groups.io. Search for this and note the punctuations: Moto-Guzzi-SmallBlock@groups.io
Might ask there for some parts.
First thing is to determine what you have for an ignition trigger. The /II version was not very easy to replace nor very reliable. It looks to me like the disc dangling over the frame spine is the pickup/trigger plate for a Dyna-S which fits the /III motor.
There are a hundred unique tips for this particular bike:
lube the spark advancer annually
lube the front wheel speedo drive annually
remove, clean, lube bot the shift lever and brake lever pivots where they go through the frame
build a breather catch can system to collect valve cover mist and feed it back to the crank
build an inverted U breather tube for the transmission and the rear drive
rewire the starter relay circuit
that should keep you busy while you research the rest.

I went through a Monza with the latest transmission breather mod here:

Page 3 has the mod..

Boy, that stuff looks familiar. Did it come from Chad (Mayor of BBQ)? He is a chef over there in Ashville and has a V65 among other Guzzi's.
Just looked and I have a set of headpipes & crossover for V65 plus mufflers from V65C you can have, come get them. Some other smallblock stuff too. Can't remember everything. Not far away. NE of ATL 45mi. I used to work on a lot of smallblocks when they were new. Lot of Guzzi folks in your area.
