  1. Yea done all that but when setting the TPS to .525v the idle is way too high even with the air screw closed. so the only way to bring it down is by backing out the left stop screw until the throttles are almost closed again. was your high idle cam (choke) loosened? that warm up lever on the left grip, if it was still connected I can see how idle was way too high. otherwise something else is messed up.
  2. if you have a manual petcock make sure it's all the way open, could the screen inside be clogging up?
  3. 150Mv is the base setting (screws all out) , you need to raise it up to (525mv?) once the throttles are hooked up then adjust the air screws and sync. so just set your stop screw to 525 with key on not running, then fine tune with air bleed screws.. start bike and sync TB's above idle, 3k rpm and then go back to readjust/balance the idle with the air bleed screws.
  4. so you cleaned a switch and the pump got quiet?
  5. lift the lever over the tab as you wiggle it apart.
  6. ace hardware sells a swivel attachment, you set it just the right angle and it fits in, still not easy to hold it on zirk and pumpuing in grease. you need a 3rd hand.
  7. inspect the area around the steering head, the swelling can cause it to rub against the frame on the right inside and can even wear a hole right thru.
  8. Have you checked the battery connections? and the ground wire from the battery?
  9. get better relays here, http://dpguzzi.com/ check ground/clean connections. and maybe ignition switch.
  10. and end caps and be sure wires seated all the way into coils. battery ground connections.
  11. how did they ever get the battery under the tanks?
  12. ask the same ? at http://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=3438b1bacf46170470b6ec47f066c897&board=1.0
  13. traded my V11 Lemans, dog couldn't ride in it.. even trade for a 2003 Miata w/66k needs tires and timing belt service. First car I've owned in 24 years. a sports car might be just what you need?
  14. Is your clutch functioning properly?
  15. you can use the UFI which is what came in my V11 and all guzzi's I've had call for UFI filters. I use 15/50 v twin oil from Mobil One.
  16. on my 02, the bubbling paint is only on the block, tranny got the good paint. My rear drive has flaked slightly but I don't think it's the same paint as the block. Yes, bring a gift! Cuban cigars? Bourbon, gas card?
  17. I have carried the spring and directions to fix under my seat for 26,000+ miles in my 2002 Lemans.. maybe because I'm prepared but I like to think my bike is outside the list of those that seem to fail... you should get it! I say as I'm about to let mine go..life changes, my pup Pink can't ride pillion.
  18. My Lemans (got it out first time of season today) sounds tough! like a race car but not NASCAR Mistral cones, Viola! all that green is last summer.. M&D got 10" on last Wednesday, My Buell has just the right V twin vibes too.. does not sound like a Harley, more like a serious piece of machinery, a Kubota maybe.
  19. I saw that as I was racing to the Erik Buell news.. the dude is Awesome.. I almost want to go work for him. I already want the 1190AX that won't be shown till end of this year. for now my Uly is the main ride and Lemans sits on the stand..
  20. no, the pump runs continuous (once running) and had a regulator to maintain pressure, extra fuel is pumped back into the tank.
  21. fuel tank breather lines seem to be kink free do you have tank suck when you pop the filler? is the tip over valve in place and oriented right? if there is one? I don't buy the both injectors bad at same time.. still have the charcoal canister hooked up?

    Running GREAT!

    I'm feeling guilty for ignoring mine since last Aug when I got this, sorry if you saw it already, here's the Guzzi trip just before I got it, bump these to 720p if you can..
  23. I would stay away from the first one. leaks and new timing cover, broken fin? new camshaft? sound like it's had a hard life. and the Scurra had the single plate clutch, I wouldn't touch that one either.
  24. I mean did Speed hut put the eagles on the face of the units? cool!
