850T Help Needed

[Testarossa]

Buy the $400 engine. New bearings alone would cost more than that, and $250 to turn the crank etc. and maybe 100 hours of your own time. While the engine is out of course you'll replace the clutch and shifter spring, and grease the rear drive splines -- everything you're already doing on the Eldo.

Where are you located in Michigan? If you're close to one or more members it might be possible to pool a bit of knowledge, parts and experience and get you on track.

With respect to that, I can provide you with a CD that includes all the factory manuals (Parts, Service, Owner's), a wide range of How-To instructions, Pete Roper's big block engine rebuild procedure, period advertisements, brochures, wiring diagrams and much more; all specific to the 850-T model. Just send me a PM with your full mailing address and I'll drop the CD in the mail. No cost.

The same offer applies to any other WildGuzzi member. I have compiled model-specific CDs for most of the big block Guzzi models from mid-1970s to later 1990s. Again, just send me a PM with your mailing address and let me know which CD(s) you'd like. Shipped free worldwide.
