I got a little side tracked this morning and in that side track I passed the 1973 Moto Guzzi Eldorado that sits in the living room... I got it way back in 2011 with it arriving in Australia early 2012 after being missing for some 3 months between New York and Australia, of course when it got here (Port of Sydney) it was road freighted 900 kms to Queensland then back 900 kms to NSW where I lived ?? but finally it arrived only to find it was totally worn out.... I worked on it every now and again over the years and stopped counting when it went over $20000 all in, I did start it once back in 2012 but the engine was weak and it never ran again since that day, not even ridden.......... So this morning I am opening the back windows and it occurred to me having made a new coil lead days ago, if I was to hook the battery ($250) up and add some fuel, maybe it would start so I did both then just stood there wondering what would happen given I had this bike down to the last nut, bolt and wire.............. I give it some choke and hit the starter button and it just winds over, Ohhh well........... Hmmm, then I look on the police dash, maybe the push/pull kill switch is not in for Go but out for Go so pull it out and try again.......... It started instantly for the first time in over eight years.
Remarkable work Les. That battery post made me laugh. Talk about detail..
Les, you have done some *really* nice rotary table work. It's almost a lost art since cnc took over. Attaboy!
Les, I don't even feel qualified to comment on all the work that you've done to the Eldorado, but had to at least say something after spending several hours reading from start to finish. There is quite possibly nothing more important or satisfying than looking back at a project completed knowing that everything you did was done to the best of your ability. Well done! Your creativity, ingenuity and persistence are an inspiration.
