Swap engine from a 98 1100EV to a V11 sport 2003
Chuck replied to antmanbee's topic in Technical Topics
So.. is the crank really toast? Can't regrind it to clean it up? Same deal with the rods. I've seen some pretty nasty looking stuff that cleaned up ok. -
bump for all you guys that said you wanted one..
-
I don't see why not.
-
Ok, folks.. material is ordered. I should be able to make these extenders fairly shortly. If you want one, send your name and address to fifty nine dot chuck at gmail.com I'll send them out as soon as I get them made.
-
It most certainly is. Thanks, Buddy. Here ya go, Jim.. this thread explains the Lucky Phil extender and blueprinting the transmission preselector. https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19547&page=1 Rosie will love you for it..

Wow! Now, *there* is a guy with too much time on his hands..
-
Yeah.. something has happened when you pulled the tank off. What? I don't know..but you need to *look.*
-
I don't have a problem with that..
-
I'm not normally a cafe racer fan.. but.. I'd look good on that.

You might think about a Roper plate, too.. -

What Footgoose says.. I don't think it would be a tough swap, either.. but.. *I don't know.* -
Hi, kuzmal.. welcome to the forum. Normally a TPS will have a bad section, and will run normally before that place and after it. With careful throttle application, you can kill the engine if you have the throttle in *exactly* the right place. At least, that has been my experience. An ohmmeter can generally find it.

I've given away several jackets over the years. Gloves get worn out. Helmets, I dumpster when they've passed their "use by" date. My good "old gear" lives in SoCal in semi retirement. Austin is impressed with the almost new jacket I gave him. He's never had a real one..

Thanks, Laurent.. I've been looking for a right one since I got the Mighty Scura several years ago. Pete binned it on the way from picking it up at MPH to SoCal, and beat it up pretty badly. From the pix, yours are better than my "good" one. Sometimes, patience *is * it's own reward.
-
Oh, I thought it was the one hooked to the throttle bodies.
-
You'll have a vacuum leak with the hose off. Either hook it up if you want to keep the canisters, or bin them and their mile of hoses, plug the vacuum ports on the manifold, or run a hose from one to the other.

I had two bevels back in the day, an 860GT, and a Darmah. Looking at parts prices, I wouldn't want to restore either. Gimme a Guzzi..
-
That's what you feel like you get when you are standing at the parts counter..
-
That's a good looking scooter..

Neutral light out, deploy side stand, bike stalls

The regulator is a common failure, generally caused by lack of a dedicated ground wire from the regulator mount to an engine case bolt. How did you determine it is the regulator? -
Mine idles at 1150.. that's what Guzzi recommends. If yours is at 1000, no wonder it dies.
-
Yeah, those are killer. I use them on the crown wheel of small blocks. Really pricey, though.
-
I do pretty much the same as Docc.. balance at around 4000, do the best I can at idle with the air bleeds, and set idle at 1150.
