Metric sizes are indeed measured from the outside of the threads and the pitch is the distance from thread to thread in mm. If you do have a M16x1.5 the tap...
Hi, all. I have the "suger cube" style petcocks on both sides of my gas tank. They have settings for on, off, and reserve, but the reserve setting doesn't seem...
Hi all.. I've changed my internet service.. and my email.. If some of your posts didnt make it I apologize.. I'm having trouble getting Yahoo to send...
Mike, I would remove the petcock and see if the fuel tube has become detached. Those petcocks can be disassembled, but I have not found replacement gaskets for...
Thanks for the reply, Bones. So there should be a tube inside the filter screen on the petcock inside the tank? -Mike ===== M.Jones, associate editor, Journal...
Mike, If memory serves, there are two holes in the top of the petcock. One is reserve (no tube) and the other is ON (tube). If you need more info, I can go out...
Thanks, Bones. Next time my tank is low, I'll take it off and look at the petcock/filter/tube assembly. This is just the info I needed - I hope! After a couple...
Hi All.. the list is nearly dead... I guess everyone is working hard on their bikes for spring.. I'm in the process of buying a used Jackal.. if it all...
Dwight; You're right, the list has been pretty slow lately, (winter, and all that.), but are you sure you want to drop it? I, for one, have enjoyed the...
Hi guys.. .. I'm not planning on getting rid of the list.. I'll keep moderating it.. as long as I can.. unless someone else wants to do it... as far as...
Hi Dwight, I agree, I have enjoyed the list postings as well. I presently have 3 Guzzis, and I really like having an auto in the stable for those "lazy" rides....

I have decided to purchase a Cal-II Automatic[convert?] from a guy in Indiana. I live in NE Fla.[St. Augustine].I used to be the Central Fl. Rep for the...
D. Van, Howdy, I'm in south Mpls by M'haha Falls. I'm a life member in the MGNOC L- 643. I've been on Guzzis since 93, after a 11 year affair with a BMW ...
Wow, Dwight, I'm surprized and sorry you're leaving the list. I like the looks of the Jackel a lot, but the smooth-shifting Convert is great for carrying my ...
Hey everyone, I've been a member of this site for a while and I too would be very disappointed if it ended. I don't post much because my vert knowledge is low...
I was just wondering if someone else wanted to Moderate it.. I don't really mind doing it at all.. it's easy.. but I'm going to sell my Vert.. All list...
Hi Folks: Glad to hear list isn't folding. I've been lurking for a while as I don't have a Convert but am looking for one in my area (Upstate NY). I do have...
Doug; Great news about your wife! Welcome back to the Guzzi fold! Yes, the eng.-trans. are the same, although the Cali-2 had a longer swingarm, thus a longer...
Hi, Doug. I have been wanting to hang my Velorex side care from my Convert instead of from my Ambo, but I haven't been able to figure out where to put the ...
Hi; Call Dauntless Motors and speak to Jay. He knows sidecars and he really knows Moto-Guzzi. He can make you a set of custom mounts for your Convert that will...

Hi John. I just bought a 1985 California II Convert from the MGNOC Indiana state rep.[Andy Thompson.] I found a Friendship II sidecar on E-bay, and plan on...
John; I have been reading all the posts about Convert/sidecar rigs, and their riders; thought I'd add my .02. I first bought my 76 'vert as a 'rig', it had a...
Hey, Bones; Now there are TWO things I don't know; What is Mpls,,,and where is M'haha Falls? For obvious (see above) reasons, I can't say if I'm local or not! ...
Thanks for the info, Doug. I'll check it out! As for banter: took my 14-year-old son on a 90-minute Vert ride Monday evening. We're taking fencing lessons in a...
Doug, the back tire is a 16" and the front is an 18". The rims are the same style and are Borrani's, not original to Guzzi. It does get the bike going quicker...
Hi Don, Well, that solves it, I am NOT local. Mpls is Minneapolis, Minnesota! Our rep here is Earl Clevin. I am planning on coming to your fine state next...
