Chuck Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I replaced a set of gears for a guy's Centauro. It wasn't *quite* that bad.. but I could feel the particulates in the oil as soon as I opened the timing chest. If I would have kept mine, I was planning on a chain at the next belt service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luhbo Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Gossip says that Guzzi wasn't too keen on bringing this engine on the road. Seems as if they knew that the design was a bit tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gears in my Centauro engine were worn (mileage unknown, but lots I suspect) enough for me to not want to re use them. Surprisingly the oil pump was in fine shape. I went with the Caruso gears again same as my 2 valver. Ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I did not know was that Parilla used the Gran Sport road racing motor in the Wildcat. Some noise and some fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own some Triumph 2-strokes from the early 50ies and it's really an amazing thing to watch them slowly idle and hear nothing but in- and output noises. No gears, no valves, no clutch, nothing. Maybe a faint hum of the primary chain, that's all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will have the parts micro blued before they get installed. Shame that scumbags sell cheap crap like that... I'm a big fan of MicroBlue.85 LM1000 buildPhotos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knumbnutz Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Just received a set of Joe's gears. Job for the major service, change ECU map, regulator, fuel pump wiring, valve check, plugs, oils etc.. Should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
