I guess you'll be swapping relais still next year. Have you checked the phase sensor? Do you have a Guzzi shop in your next neighbourhood (speaking Guzzi 50 miles would be quite close ;) )

Do follow the link which Raz provided you. Good link, btw.

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

As long as the starter turns the engine the bike should start, regardless whether a digital V-meter says 9,8 or 10,2 V. That's my experience.

 

Question: after turning on the ignition, does the pump prime for 1 or 2 seconds?

Next question: after releasing the starter button, does it run again for 1 or 2 seconds or does it stay quiet?

 

Question 3: have you really checked whether you have a spark, holding the plug(s) against minus (blank engine part, screw head)?

 

You have checked the phase sensor now?

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?

The resistance test is with sensor disconnected from bike. There is a three pin plug somewhere up along the cable:

But Luhbo's test is better: If the pump runs a little time more after you stop cranking, or if you by other means detect that it does run during cranking, then this sensor is OK.

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
