dangerous

.015 my be in not mm then either way .015 is the correct gap, iirc some us specs recomend larger. this is not my bike... adjusted it because the bike needed to be moved and as the valves had just been replaced it 'may' have been a settle in thing be it somewhat excisive... the bike was brought with having the cam just replaced so you would think it was not a issue. Thinking the 1st cam went due to oil feed failer, could this have happened again? Thinking perhaps bad luck and this bike has had two failed cams due to failed hardening?

Ummmm, Im thinking not so good what do you guys reckon? V11 cafe sport was brought with new cam amongest other things... the exhaust valves recently burnt out and were replaced 1000k on and a exhaust tappit clearance went from .015 to 3mm re adjusted it and is now after 400km loose as hell again... What do you think the corse could be??? starts with C ends with M and has a A in the middle?

Ummmm, a oral hygiene tool, loooking at you avatar... it would be helpfull in asisting with the removal of the flys from your teeth.

did you get the deal on the spring and ratchet arm deal were ya get a free tooth brush?

why do you need to get the box out off 3rd? replace the spring put the large cogs back in the same position as they are now and ya be sorted wont ya

ya know what to do aye?

like we said... wip the cover off and all will be revieled

hahahaa... welcome to the life of Moto Guzzi should be a paw spring, usually you can change down but not up, possably a spring that dosent usually snap (3 springs all up) so, IMO off with the starter and off with the side cover of the gear box Funny as it is but since this thread started I have done the springs on a friends Cafe sport, a easyish op

Scuder's welcome, the Scura is awesome, do you know what ya in for tho?

yeah as above, clean it up and then trace it after a short ride

ummm, the attached tag is on a V11 Cafe sport, its not ya usual is it, im sure mines different its got a date on it for a start???

ohh dear... it was trying to tell you something, never mind, hopfully you will be able to sort it through the left side engine in

OHHH YEAH... beer, spanners, Guzzi and 80's music that was my friday night, and 1 paw spring replaced all 6 gears found and acounted for. just one issue LOL, ummm gota watch when refitting the rear shock that ya dont lean the banjo on the starter conector 2 fuses later... got ya ya bastard

ok up date... got it apart, not sure if Ill get it back togeather ofcourse... but hey removed the broken spring

right ta guys... im not good at serching or reading hence asking direct as to my situation... what is the springs name I need?

ohh cool... ok so pop the 2 split rings and loosen the center pivit move the boomerrang off the big cog now what If I lift the cog off will shit fly all over the show?

yeah I know its been done before, an hour ago I did find a thread but now I cant. Can we start again with the photo below, top left you can see the broken spring pokeing out from the big cog the bust off bit on the ground. step by step can some one tell me how to get at it to replace and as I believe it is one of 3 in there which one is it, as in what part do I ask for at the shop?

awesome aye, 52 it had a single carb, then they tried injection but it wasnt so great so like the V8 they went one carb per pot, it did take a 1st or two but handling due to the crank, fly drive shaft caused it to do weird shit, much like the V7-V11, note the pigie back electrics etc on the gear box to keep the length down, also with the dust pan fairing which is the kit I am building the fuel tank was in the side panels of the fairing... cool aye

its a four cyl... and 500cc from 53 ;-) ps when I get my bloody glasses back Ill be able to see the fuker again and do more work on it

yesssssssss... but a model of what real engine, its not to far from home

come on guys what is it?

might I say try a leak down test (not compresion as it wont show a burnt valve)

nooo, dont give up ya wernt far off... in 53 this engine was fuel injected, how cools that

WRONG... lol silly Jaap, that may or may not be the box for the model

ok... this well might be a ongoing quiz question as it devlops into a compleat bike... whats it gona be
