Couple unrelated questions.
« on: April 19, 2019, 10:45:55 PM »
1)Can you use G5 round slide carb style throttle cables   on square slide carbs?

2) What was the last year Guzzi engines had the blanking plate over the distributor hole and a dizzy gear on the cam?   Thank you oh enlightened ones!  I feel a monster bike coming on..... :cool:

1) no, I don't believe you can.  I replaced my square slides with round and the cables did not translate.

My 94 1100 sport doesn't have a dizzy gear.
