It is always a good day when I can pull the wood engine support box out and have it standing on its own.



The forks needed new fork tubes, because the old were rust pitted.  New Wirth progressive fork spring, dampers, and seals.

After you set the ignition timing correctly, I would also check for proper centrifugal advance of the spark under higher rpm.  If the advancer gets dirty/stuck, it will start and idle just fine.  It will accelerate at low rpm just fine.  It will feel like hitting a wall when  you get to higher speed and higher rpm.

I would check your timing, maybe it moved. I remember you asking about timing last.

I know Greg Field had them, so maybe they were a Moto International product?

I'd check with Mark at Moto Guzzi Classics, Harper's, or Joe Walano at Guzzi Doctor and see if any of those guys have removed them from bikes and just tossed them into a box.

Yeah just had to trailer it home. It lost all acceleration at any gear at any rpm. Wish me luck

Head protectors on a Loopframe are kind of redundant - one would have to try really hard to get a head on the ground with the crashbars in place.

The ones in your photo look like they would make accessing the plug a bit difficult, without removing them first.
