Come on cough it up, where are the photos?make me jealous............ .
Dyna electronic ignition or points?
I saw the original photos in the CL ad (I was a few hours too late....), and Perazzimx14 should be ASHAMED of himself, even if he gave the guy full price. A bike in that condition could not have had anything significant wrong with it. I vote it as the SCORE-of-2019, even though it's only January, waiting to be out-done.The seller mentioned in the ad that he had other "modern" bikes, maybe he had no idea what points were??
This has been an interesting thread! Way to go with bringing it back to life! Sits in guy's garage for ages ... Perazzimx14 gets it running in a couple of days. Are you planning on doing normal maintenance and checks and then rack up some miles? Or are you thinking of some sort of restoring work? It looks great in the pics.
If you are a member of ADV Rider here is a link to the previous owners trial and tribulations trying to get the SP up and running.https://advrider.com/f/threads/borrowed-trouble-a-guzzi-story.217874/The seller now has a Stelvio. He spent about about a 11-1/2 yeas on/off fooling with the SP and I guess it was finally time to let it go.
The .018' gap might have been necessary to get both cylinders timed correctly. Sometimes it's necessary (unless the points plate is modified) to "fudge" the gaps. Check the timing, you might find it's not even close at the "correct" point gaps.
I guess what I'm getting at, is that it is amazing, and I feel heartbroken for the bike and the previous owner, that in all those years of investigation, he may never have done step 1 or 2 in "Troubleshooting a points engine 101" and set the point gap. That almost sounds something like I'D do.

I have a pair of repairable lower fairings (red) that I'd let go cheap...Larry
The guy is only 10 min from my house and had the exact same ad up last summer with the same pics.
I saw that ad come and go and am glad someone on the board got it. The guy is only 10 min from my house and had the exact same ad up last summer with the same pics.Steve
