You might be onto something.

https://www.etoolcart.com/88800031-sensor-depth-gauge.html This price has to be a joke, it’s cheaper to buy a lathe.

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

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.

And that's @activpop beautiful Coppa...

I must have missed that as I bee-lined for my biscuits and gravy.

A couple videos from the Motorcycle Day with some nice shots of that Coppa. I wasn't there last year, I think I was having dinner with @docc instead. The year before that I did have the Guzzi out. @activpop What was the other Guzzi? I think I missed it. Also I was at the back of the pack as we came in. I get to pick up any parts that fall off the other Nortons.

Not guilty. I can barely comprehend the English language. I tell people that after several years of German in HS that I know more German from Hogan's Heros.

I think that was directed at me.

I'm not sure about all of that. I was just asking how much.

I question a lot of German choices. This would be one of them.

I wonder how much that Cruiser of the Year cost them?

The market for that kind of bike has to be hyper small. You first have to be a Guzzi geek, which is already a small audience, and the want a cruiser that's not a Harley. I'm surprised Guzzi ever sold any of those bikes. Facebook Marketplace is a wacky place. Heck, if you're looking for something Italian funky: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/420703237079257/

This is the second time I ran into @activpop at the Portland Cars and Coffee. Last time he was on I believe his Stelvio? Anyways this time he brought a proper Guzzi. I had the kiddo with me so no riding. We had one of those sneaky warm days (high was about 75F later in the day) in the early Spring. They are always welcome. The bike looks and sounds fantastic. The Titaniums are definitely not as loud as Mistrals but not everyone has to be a hooligan. One of these days I'll unbury the V11 and bring it out too.

Interesting discussion here. Apparently to doesn't actually make a difference? btw Searching for diagram and @Kiwi_Roy is like typing "p0rn" into Google. You'll get a trillion results.

Is there a wiring diagram or pictures of how people have done this? I think it's simple but sometimes the details are what matters.
