New Moto Guzzi Door Mats Available Now
So one of my winter issues to sort is the metal crossover fuel line.I’m wondering though. Why not just run a fuel line from each petcock to the carb? I’m sure this has been asked before...
Copy that Wirespokes. I will throw in that resistor.
Still a ton of winter left and I’ve got a potential issue that keeps me up at night.I did the Gilardoni cylinder thing last winter, put about 5k miles on her and all is good.Then sometime late this summer I stumble on the directions for a SB Gilardoni set. I don’t remember any discernible difference between the top two rings but the instructions show one having a cleft.If I got this backwards how bad would it be? If this is what I did do I need a re-hone?Not really to excited to get the whole top end gasket set again, but will if it’s crucial.Thanks again
You said you found directions for a "SB" set.A little latter today, I'll see if I can find the directions that came with the set for my Eldo and see what it says.Tom
The rings are going to have to wait, I have a suspicion on what I was seeing.My heads are at the machine shop but I’m wondering if anybody knows what the valve spring pressure open/closed is supposed to be? I had this for a v11 Sport headOutside springload of 20.33-22.47 Kg at 35 mm (valve closed)load of 60.8-67.2 Kg at 24.4 mm (valve open)Insideload of 9.215-10.185 Kg at 33.5 mm (valve closed)Is it the same?Thanksload of 31.35-34.65 at 22.9 mm (valve open)
After assembling this top end for what feels like the 100th time I noticed weird wear marks on my pushrods, like on the rod itself. My first thought was that must’ve been the wrong head gasket. But it was only on one rod on each side (intake left, exhaust right). Also no wear on the old gasket. To make a long story short it looks like there must be some part of the cylinder (gilardoni 83mm) not quite cast right. Looks like I’m not the first to suffer thus either.https://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=82697.0How lazy would I be if I just removed a bit more material off the push rod? I’m just sick of taking this thing apart, plus I just torqued everything together with fresh gaskets.
