Valentines Day arrival...
gstallons replied to activpop's topic in Special place for banter and conversation
This is stupid but it could be poor contacts between the bulb/terminals. At least that was my problem ! When you FIX the conact problem , use your goop of choice to repair the issue . My favorite is Motorcraft electrical grease. -
Was that from today's spin ?

Uhhhh , yeah that would be correct

Google 'em for a pic.

There is more content in one line of a Bob Dylan song than most musc groups will sing in a lifetime . I had the privilege of getting to know Kermit (Kermit's Chair) Easterling at biker rallyes . At this rallye which happen to be in Burkesville , we discussed Dylan in great length. I couldn't (naively) believe a man this old could be so cool as to know so much about Dylan & his philosophies.

This is an important and good read . If you are going to use the crimp type hose clamps , practice using the clamp/tool on a practice hose to get good at this style clamp system. You say your bike has the "in tank" fuel system ? Be careful working around these fittings. You break this stuff and you are going to be ANGRY !

IDK what Piaggo wants or wants to do w/the brand ? It seems like they want to dilute , emasculate or kill it . I thought the US was the only country that did this ? I would think they would want they would want to emphasize personality (quirkiness) and work in conjunction w/sellers, dealerships and clubs, already established. With this being said, I cannot imagine 5 letters would be this problematic or how would you identify yourself or be PROUD of your ownership or involvement with M**O G***I.

I am w/o words . Are there any Guzzi family members still alive ? Maybe they have a cease and desist letter at their house too ?

.W/O having the trans. in gear , you are rotating the flywheel and trans. input shaft at the same time. There is no chance of getting it to align I hope you are using longer bolts or home-made studs as guide bolts to reassemble? This thing will slide together , slide together . I also saw a guy try to reassemble a 65 model Massey-Ferguson tractor with the bolt tightening method . It was hard until "POW" it slid together . He demolished that tractor using his hubris/stupidity.

You (I hope) did use a line-up tool to assemble the clutch assy. ? This thing should slide together w/o any trouble. You want the trans. in gear and hold the output shaft where it will not spin. Use a socket on .the end of the c/shaft and rotate until it aligns , then push it together EASY , making sure it all goes together top/bottom , left/right sides are all have the same air gap the entire time you go together . This should go together easily . I can't emphasize enough EASILY . One time I installed a clutch in a 84 F-150 so fast , I got scared , took it back out because I KNEW I did something wrong

You might want to be absolutely sure about what you are doing. You could end up w/a very expensive lesson.

The Chinese LEDs are pathetic. We install these @ work and 1/10 of them go out as soon as you apply voltage .

A warm and fuzzy feeling . Not to compare M/G with H/D .but around here you cannot sew , weld, make wooden idols , anything w/the words , colors, liken or graven images Harley Davison w/o getting a cease and desist order from The Firm ! Jehovah (of the Old Testament) didn't have this kind of attitude. And he had some people to keep in line. I guess the golden calf was o/k but when they branded the wings & M/G emblem , KABOOM ! Now , when you have to explain to most everyone you meet how to pronounce / spell it , much less what it is , you know this is not a household name. If "the parent company" charged $1.00 for every time this name was typed on a computer , they might earn $200.00/yr.

When I first saw this , I thought you were saying Shindig !

Thank you .

Uhhh. Please explain . I've lost my psychic abilities again.

My Scura has acquired a cough - post TPS adjustment
gstallons replied to PJPR01's topic in Technical Topics
It won't hurt to make sure it is buttoned up ! Make sure you check the continuity of the entire circuit , like we talked about , too . Measure the resistance of both sides to get a baseline for a proper value .
