  1. Well, yeah.. a guy would have to have a clue if he's using them.
  2. Just a heads up. I have the material now, but the water jet shop (and about all manufacturing around here) is still closed.
  3. I've been using one since the Pleistocene without that issue.
  4. You need a degree wheel and a dial indicator. The top sprockets are vernier, and valve timing can be adjusted by them.
  5. I have an "advantage" over normal photographers because I don't have any depth perception. The world is 2D to me, so taking pictures is easy. I have some blue ribbons from photo contests using a pocket camera and/or phone. True story.
  6. I'd give JB Weld a go. The tough part will be getting it clean enough for bonding. Trichloroethylene would do it..
  7. ^^^^^ Now, that would be fun..
  8. Fone cameras are getting to be *very* good..
  9. That is fairly compelling evidence.. (shrug)
  10. Welcome, John. Shirley there's a story behind Weegie?
  11. You really need one..
  12. It's a disaster around here, too, Remo. Our local county has 40 deaths from the virus so far. To say the US was woefully unprepared is an understatement. Take care of yourself, and best of luck..
  13. Thankya, sir.. thankya.
  14. Since it's a Greenie.. it *may* be a cracked transmission mount. That is a known issue on the early red frames. Just the same, before I would go to all the trouble of pulling the transmission, I'd clean it very well and spray it with athlete's foot powder, baby powder, etc. Then.. you can see where the leak originates.
  15. Ok, I *loved* Angels when I had the Mighty Scura in SoCal with their smooth roads. My Kid in Wisconsin hated them. Hmmm. Brought the Scura back to Indiana, and the Angels were gone in no time. Especially on the edges. The high crowns in the road and chip and seal ate them up. I've been a fanboy of Conti Attacks for quite a while. YMMV of course, but I likes em.
  16. Ok, I took out the question mark after the (2) on your original message..
  17. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Moto-Guzzi-Custom-VALVE-COVERS-Big-Blocks-Square-Fin-Heads-1100-For-A-PAIR/143441407414?hash=item2165c62db6:g:QZoAAOSwxORdzNUx
  18. Of course. Not that it's a bad thing. Guzzis are about as "mechanical" as a bike gets. There is just something about them. but.. of course I'm preaching to the choir. Chuck, deacon Church of Guzzi
  19. It's been a long time since I've seen one. Do they have the piston like the bigger ones? A cable can keep the plunger from seating once opened.. weak return spring, cable binding up, that sort of thing. I'd make sure all that is totally free.
  20. Will do, Tim.. I assume you are still in Carlsbad?
  21. Just an update. Austin has the cnc tied up for a considerable time making oiler equipment. I'll go ahead and order material and see if I can get blanks made. Don't be in a hurry, though.. I'll get to it eventually.
  22. FWIW, my old Norge wouldn't run with the pump unhooked.
  23. Probably the choke is hanging up. At any rate a good clean up is in order. They aren't rocket science..
  24. Yeah, it's a go. Hi, Phillip.. when you contacted me, you said 2 if necessary. It's now not necessary. Do you just want 1?
