Just posted pics of my tricolore Eldo. She's painted in an Italian color scheme that a friend described as "circus paint." That's the way I got her. I love it,...
Guzziesti, I have a friend here in VA who is interested in a new EV touring ('04-'05), anyone know of a dealer who has one on the floor? Thanks, Ron Komoroski...
I'd stick with the Dellortos, they're a much better carb IMHO. Why do you want to switch to Amals? If you have your heart set on switching, some '74 Eldos came...
Hi all , I have a gas tank that still had gas in it since 1983.I cleaned it out many times with gas and thinner but it still smells real bad.The tank has...
Greg, As Charlie says, the Dellortos seem to be the better carb on the Guzzis. But if someone asked if I'd like a set of square slides for my Norton, I'd have...
Steven Yes, that's the standard set-up. I believe the 8-turn is the primary spring (in use throughout the advance curve) and the 6-turn the secondary. Look at...
Rick, Try acetone or MEK to remove the old gas. Keep it off your paint - may eat it up. The POR-15 Metal Ready will remove the rust. I've used muriatic acid on...
Hey Greg, I went through this same dilemma last year with my 68 v700. The VHB carbs came stock with the square sliders and they leak and run rich and I...
Dane, I think you got it backwards. The V700s came with the SSI carbs (round slide); most Ambos & Eldos (and many other later models) came with the VHB's...
Rick: You might try phosphoric acid on the inside of the tank, drop a piece of chain in and swish it around. It will definitely neutralize the rust, just make...
HI All Glad to see lots of rebuild action going on for these wonderful machines. Anyone know where I can get a set of terminals to go onto a Bosch coil I'm...
... Remove all the valves, etc. Pour in a large handful of cheap, tiny, plain-steel, nuts and bolts. Pour in a few quarts of mild solvent like paint thinner....
A bottle of Yamaha carb cleaner diluted with a gallon or 2 of hot water is good at cleaning the organic crud in the tank. After draining I stick a dog chain,...
I cut a lexan windshield for my Wixom fairing, but it was so long ago that I don't remember exactly what I did when I drilled the mounting holes. I would call ...
Well, got the new Goodridge black stainless lines installed and bled. Mark's suggestion of bleeding thru the master cylinder worked great. Rode around 75 miles...
... There are special drill bits with a VERY sharp point angle that are designed specifically for drilling plastics. They also are tip ground with little or...
Ken, you might ask the place you that sold you the lexan if there is something special ab out drilling it if you don't get a definitive answer here. And even...
Thanks for all the info. I've got lots to consider now. The problem I was having was the right carb kept overflowing even after replacing the float needle with...
If you need a Dellorto VHB carburetor body only, I have a bucket-full. Sure there's one in there that might be a good starting point for you if all the other...
Sorry I have not been following the thread and don't know if this has been suggested- but even with the proper float needle, if the float level is not set it...
... I did some extensive research which consisted of calling up Gordon at MG and asking him what he thought. Glad to hear you agree, cams are expensive! DW...
thanks to all with your helpful suggestions. I think part of the problem may be that the material I was sold is not truely Lexan. The shop said it was the...
I just tried putting a fine rubbing compound on the end of an old float needle and spinning it around in the seat. Doing this made the carb overflow after 15...

On second thought, I'm going to try polishing that seat again and see if it will stop leaking for good....
