thankx for the boost, but she's all good thankx to all the help on this site.

hey, got some time and checked the phase sensor by cranking the motor and the fuel pump did not prime after cranking, so i removed it and it was swollen like may be burnt out, tested it got nothing on the meter, purchased a new one installed it and got that great sound out of my cut down mistrals that i love to hear, thankx to all for all your help

ill check that, thankx

pump primes for at least 2 seconds and i will have to check if it still primes after i release the starter button, checked spark with a spark tester, havent got my multi-meter back yet since last week, by the way do you test the sensor with the starter turning?

checked the battery with a yuasa tester,tester says good, multimeter reads 12.58, have not gone as long as 3 minutes, ill give it a try. thankx

finally had time to swap relays, no go, no spark, just the same starter turns motor and all relays clicking now, anyway do you know were i can get a phase sensor for less than $130.00 or is that a good price

Jeez ill send a pic of the hole and the grease gun going in from the rear if i have some time in between fixing my stuff and mowing the lawn and holy bejezus.

No, im going to check what you told me tomorrow with a meter. thankx

Thankx brother

today i tried to start it and got no spark at all, i tried all the wires and connectors under the tank i unplugged them and replugged them, starter turns and i hear the fuel pump priming also one relay is clicking but no others? there is 5 relays in a row, tried to look for schematics for a 2003 io see witch is witch but did not find one, only 1999 and 2004,different amount of relays , do you know where i can find one? thankx

i was just thinking about the relays, the only one i hear is the starter/injector relay, im going to try to push them all up and make sure they are all contacting, hopefully this is the fix, till tomorrow, let ya know

thankx

yes front u joint, it was a access hole, and i now have no problems greasing it and you do what to grease the rear u joint? i have no problems with that one, now im confused

hey do you have the part numbers?

gonna try cleaning them first, its got me scratching my head, i miss riding my baby

how do you tell its gone bad. thankx

i will check that. let you know the results. thankx

thankx

i hear the fuel pump and i hear relays clicking, starter turns over, ive tried side stand up and messing with the shifter, any how the bike will be running fine at start up when it does start and after a minute or 3 it will just cut out, i checked for spark right after that and get none. thankx

about 2 weeks ago my 2003 v11 sport cut out while i was riding to work, turned the key off checked all fuses and tried again, bike started and rode off to work, while i was at work i changed out all fuses and let it idle for about 2 minutes and all was good, going home all good until about 100 yards from home the bike cuts out again, the next morning checked the spark with a spark tester and no spark, that same afternoon it started again for about a minute then she died again, relays? should i change them all out, if so what brand is better, i like my guzzi and i dont want to get rid of it, if anybody has any info please tell. thankx

ma ce belle moto guzzi

Im having a similar problem,turn key and hit starter button nothing,bike in neutral,side stand up or down,ive turned the cutoff switch on and off many times then it will start ????? can it be a bad relay?

moto guzzi seems to keep parts on the shelf for long periods and when rubber parts have been shelfed for to long it tends to fail as with my 03 sport (coil braket n more) not long after i purchased it new. but once replaced i have not had any problem. ive also found vibration dampers from a 91 h.d. sportster oil tank mount are larger, stronger,cheaper and fit just right, sorry i dont have the part number with me

I never did own a bloat-o-glide (must be a FLHBOG???) We dont run our valves sloppy at the track?....especially when ya running mid 9s with a steet legal special.
