2V Norge valve adjustment
Wayne Orwig:
Bill, you need to do a photos and a writeup.
Something like:
Remove fairing. Research glue to repair pieces that you just broke.
Drink coffee with a bit of grappa.
Pull spark plug caps. Order new wires to replace the ones you just pulled apart.
Drink coffee with a good bit of grappa.
Stick pencil in hole to find TDC. Find a way to extract broken pencil bits.
Drink grappa straight.
Remove rear wheel, just because you can.
Etc, etc.
Come on, you can do it.......

Hmmmmmm.
That has possibilities.
Kathi could be the camera girl.
Well, until I start cursing and she took over the wrenching and I did the filming. ;D
I do like the grappa part. It ain't called the Moto Grappa for nothing. After all, grappa was the original Moto Guzzi kool-aid. :D
Cin Cin,

I didn't think about the body work, most of the time I take out the rearmost screw on the panel, where it attaches to the tank, then the 2 screws on the rearmost part of the dash fairing and with a long 1/4 extension I can get to the rear 2 screws by lifting the panel ever so slightly.

I haven't done an early 2V Norge for yonks so my memory is probably a bit hazy on what you need to remove. :P
Larry, I'll pull out the Valpolini gaskets today and see if they have any form of identification on the packaging.

This guy is cheating, already has the green VC gaskets on it.

The video is very helpful, Steve and Mick. I don't imagine one can easily see the viewing port on the Norge with all the plastic in place hence the chopstick solution? I have used plastic straws in the past but, on one occasion, the straw was too short. :(
Bill, my time is spent mostly in German romanticism which has very early roots in the gothic. I chuckled a little when you mentioned the cinquecento. I made a series of 20 short videos for an online class I teach while in Europe last summer and one of them was on Albrecht Dürer's ultimate expression of that concept - his self portrait. I'm working on another we shot at the Guzzi factory on the concept of beauty, something the Germans know a great deal about but simply can't do it as well as the Italians. If you want to see why I'm boring at parties, you can watch the video on Dürer here:
