Pandamonium Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Hi all, It's been a while since I sold my v11 but I've currently got a 1994 registered 1000s, possibly se, sitting in the shed I'm looking to get back on the road. Couple of wee issues, once fully warmed up after a run, give it a good rev and you get light smoke coming out of the exhaust, mostly the left hand side, is this normal? The float on the right hand carb seems to remain open sometimes and the fuel comes out the overflow and air filter. Any tips to stop it? Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Well, no. No smoke is normal. What color is it? The float on the right hand carb seems to remain open sometimes and the fuel comes out the overflow and air filter. Any tips to stop it? Sure. Buy a new float. While you are at it, new needles and seats are called for. That's SOP on an old bike for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandamonium Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Thanks for the reply chuck, I'll get a new float ordered up and fitted, the carbs have just been cleaned and balanced so hopefully that will sort it. The smoke is very pale, I'd say white in colour, hopefully that helps. Cheers Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Hmmm, normally that's water. You must have the rare water cooled 1000S. Or, maybe there is water collected in the muffler from sitting for years, and it's burning off? Been sitting on the sidestand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandamonium Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Haha I knew it was rare but that's rarer still. Oil would be more of a grey/blue wouldn't it? No its always on the centre stand, side stand is unnerving. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I wonder how likely that the "smoke" will take care of itself after a few heat cycles and a little riding . . . These 1000S are surely one of the most alluring Guzzis ever. They were colored several different ways, some with color matched frames to the stripes. Any chance of a photo?

docc Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 While some of the green-stripers had green frames, I don;t see any images of an "orange frame" for the orange stripers. I did come across this photo heading a "spec sheet', but the *stilettos* give it away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandamonium Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 I'll certainly try and get it out more, run plenty of fuel through it, avoid getting water in the exhausts, would anyone use any additives to the fuel? Yeah it's something different, gets lots of attention when you stop. As far as I know it was black and orange, black and green with green frame and red for the UK only se. However mine is se spec but black and orange. That's an interesting looking 1000s v11 rep. Hopefully this works. .... . http://share.photobucket.com/shareprofile/indexshare.php?id=ODYyNDI= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandamonium Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Thanks docc, it is something different. It has been an ornament more than anything else and as such I'm testing the water to sell it hence why I'm trying to sort out the few wee issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footgoose Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 It's a beauty Panda. Always one of my favorites. The only one I know about around my town went for about 9-10k in cash and trade about 6 years ago. A '91, fair unrestored condition. Green trim. I wouldn't know what a fair price would be for it now.
