Were you able to use the factory mount?
-
I wasn’t having any luck on the Hyperpro site or even just Googling that part number. ☹️

Correct

Exactly

The good news is the power wires to the coils are marked. Which is nice if you know Italian or are handy with Google Translate. Actually my friend’s wife spent time in Italy and we could have asked her too. He had replaced the TPS screws and could have easily bumped it too. Regardless, it now sounds amazing. He’s got the FbF mufflers and a Power Commander.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! It was the ignition coil supply leads! Pretty sure the misadjusted TPS (it wasn’t right before I screwed it up) didn’t help. It sounds spectacular!

Can you update the Decent Tune Up post to say that you have to turn the ignition on for the test. I know it should be apparent but…
-
Thanks! Google Translate helped us too. Which leads us to believe the wires were actually crossed! The one thing I didn’t trust is if the Italians to map stuff while sitting on the bikes. 😜
-
Anyone remember which coil wire goes to which coil? SX and OX? The workshop manual is a copy and doesn’t have the legend.
-
So should we be measuring with the ignition on?
-
We’re pulling the tank to recheck the wiring. He did mark the injector plugs (yet to be determined if it was before or after removing) so that’s something. But I’m really curious about the ignition coils. His goal was to tidy the wiring and it might be a little too tidy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You might be onto something.

Ok, was also told the timing sensor was removed and o-ring was replaced. Took sensor off and measured. I got .7mm which appears to be spec.
-
Where do you get that tool? Let me guess, it’s called a cam sensor gauge?
-
Ok, checked the air bypass screws, set to one turn out. Took bike back outside and tried to start it. Won’t start but the really loud backfire is gone. Now it’s a poof not a pop. Seems like we’re moving in the right direction. Just not there all the way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Right? [emoji16] Tuning Guide says 157 mv. I put the meter on resistance (Ohms) and got this. Same thing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
The TPS screws were replaced and although he said he was super careful we are checking the TPS settings. Stay tuned.

Valves have been adjusted. Some cracks. But is that enough to not let it start? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Boots look real good. Will do TPS next. I just happened to bring the pigtail with me.

I’m helping my friend, yes, I corrupted him when he rode my Greenie, start his bike. He’s been refreshing a bunch of parts. Cleaned injectors. New fuel line. Manual petcock. Very loud backfire when trying to start. Seems to me to be an air leak (lean pop?). Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2024 Oregon Vintage Motorcyclists Oaks Park Show
swooshdave replied to swooshdave's topic in Meetings, Clubs & Events
I didn't warn this forum beforehand. That was really the last big bike thing this year. There are a few bikes that show up at Cars & Coffee. If you haven't been it's pretty impressive (especially if you like cars or coffee, ok, as long as you're not a coffee snob...) There's also the Oregon Moto Guzzi club and they meet year round. -
Yeah, I know that post was a few years ago... but Greenies are timeless.
