Feeling the love

23 April 2019

A spell of fine weather, a couple of trips out, and I'm beginning to feel the stirrings of that Guzzi biker that have laid dormant for well over a decade.

The bevel drive still leaks, but not much, and seems to get less every trip.  Evidence of overfilling? But I measured the fill up exactly, NB says it left the workshop dry.

Checked all the carb internal specs, having lost track of exactly what combination of jets I am running now.

Here's the summary


Col 1 - as returned from NBS but with needle down one notch from centre
Col 2 - as tested today - no good, no pick up under load, engine just dies
Col 3 - returned to previous setting

Best leave well alone, bike flies from 3000 up to 5000 rpm in fourth.

Ignore streaks, not oil
