hi all, first off thank you for the forum, quite few guzzi enthusiast here, self included - even if i am new to guzzi's. my name is pete, i live in central texas and i ride a '02 tenni #113,
if i may dive right in, it seems like quite a few of you are experiencing what i have today. so far she's been a great bike, with one minor problem; it doesn't seem to want to start reliably. the day i bought her a week ago it did, lol! today while out on a ride, fuse F4 blew - the manual indicates that's the starter circuit. ugh! backing up, usually in the past, pressing the start button mostly yields an audible click and after a few tries she'll kick over. today after stopping for a brief rest, it clicked once and then nothing neutral light gone, etc.. checking fuses in the fuse box revealed F4 (15A) to be blown, swapped it with F5 (headlights & instruments w/15A rating) and made it home. the spare fuse had already been used. is it possible the that the start solenoid is on the fritz? having driven old ford relics, it sure is acting like it.
thanks in advance for your time.
repectfully,
--pete
