General Discussion / Re: U/J Carrier bearing collapse« Last post by izzug otom on Today at 02:07:59 AM »If the difference is only .2 mm (0.008") I'd have been tempted to dust .1 mm (0.004") off the end of each bearing cap. That's almost an emery cloth job. Certainly a quick minute with a belt sander (If you own a micrometer). That's a very cool idea, but no, I don't have micrometers. That makes a good point though, the circlips I've ground down were not measured at all, I just made them all thinner, and no doubt to varying degrees ![]() ![]() And oddly enough, I just came across this video, it's from an in depth series on uj's and propshafts. He's a bit slow getting through stuff, but interesting all the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10BhHuwnQ7I It's a segment on centering and adjusting axial play in uj's, and it seems that many uj's come with circlips or G-clips etc, of varying thicknesses for adjusting the axial play. It seems that'd be a good idea in the case of the 50.2mm and, if the circlip groove is deep enough, the 49mm I imagine. Or maybe work out the thickness needed for the guzzi yokes and see if they're manufactured to that size, if so, it could be quite a useful resource for forums such as this. The thing is though, I'm sure I took more than 0.1mm off the circlips, and I still think it's a bit tight, and giving some preload, certainly no detectable axial play. 3

General Discussion / Re: Flameout« Last post by John A on September 22, 2023, 10:47:51 PM »The cam sensor is rooted. Bulging sides made it tight in the hole when I pulled it out. I took the Spyder to go get some five minute JB weld. I ended up wandering through the hills instead of working on the bike so I cant report a light off yet. I remember thinking it was unusual for it to start so quickly after sitting for more than three months. It always cranked a little before it fired, a normal thing for an injected Guzzi but it had fired right off as soon as I hit the starter. That was the only thing it did out of the ordinary prior to its failure.

Sure looks like water damage. Normally a bad rubber boot would cause this. Not sure of your history with the bike, but makes me think that someone just replaced the rubber boot and ignored the rest. And then, you see what happened. Put the new boot on, your in there this deep, don't want to have to do it again anytime soon. Don't be so down on yourself. It's funny the way you bring it up though, funny in a very nice way ![]() You are doing very good with the resources you have. The new drive shaft and coupler looks very nice, Run it. Tom |
