Stelvio NOT stranded, starts then NOT dies.

Good to hear it is "somewhat" sorted and you are back on the road.

Thanks for the update and your commentary on the area.  Your visiting there does add to ones understanding of the world we live in and I look forward to reading your trip report.  Thanks again for sharing, entertaining, and educating!

I'll likely be on the road Saturday.  Today, was beastly hot (over 100) and tomorrow looks better.  Anyway, we'd like to hear from Guzzi (they're expected to say something).

Fingers crossed!  You certainly are in the middle of "It" over there.  You're in our thoughts.

Check the temp sensor in the rt cyl for tightness and holder type.  Black plugs and lumpy low rpms can be caused by the ecu thinking the engine is cold when it's not.

Different on the 8V David and a lot less of an issue. Sensor is in the bottom of the valley on the right. Can't offhand remember if it's in the cylinder or the crankcase but it's a lot less prone to chenges in ambient temp than it was when it was stuck in the back of the head. Fuel consumption still goes up a bit in winter but it's nothing like a V11/Cali with 15M or worse yet the early ones with the ETS in the LH rocker cover! They were dreadful!

I've changed the heading.

I'm on down the road, stopping for the night (early) near the Montenegro border.  Thanks for the suggestions and support.  All is well with the Stelvio (mostly).

[Wayne Orwig]

Good news.

Wish I could remember where the 'family' land was in Montenegro.  Not a big place.
