What no power? To start? or no hp? I would check ign switch.

No lights, no fuel pump, nothing. I was "probing the TPI and wonder if I touched 2 wrong wires. Something new I discovered yesterday is that all of the under seat fuses (15 amp) have power on both sides of the fuse except one (the 4 way?) If you remove the fuse it has power to one side (normal), if you put the fuse back in, it has no power on either side. The fuse is fine. Is there a master fuse on these things or...................What no power? To start? or no hp? I would check ign switch.
I was checking the TPI setting - it went badly out of whack a few years ago. I'll have to check the key on/off fuse power this AM and get back to you. No needle sweep, no headlights or anything else I can hear or see.Why were you probing the wires? You can't do anything with a meter.
You state power on both sides of the fuses. Is that with the Key ON? You really need to give all conditions when you state observations. You know the state of all controls, but we don't unless you tell us.
If key was on the ON position, you won't have lights unless you are talking instrument lights. Do instrument needles swing when you turn the key on? I'm suspecting the main or auxiliary injection relay. See Car's schematic in the resources section.
Relays(?) have center pin on with key off and one of the other 2 with the key on - except # 2 on the left side. Tried swapping relays with no change.Fuses: starting with #6 marked fuel pump,1 &2 light up with key off. All others light up with key on but when fuse gets inserted in # five, there is no power on that connection on either side. Remove the fuse and power comes back. No fuse blows and all are 15 amp. I also heard a low buzzing noise coming from under the seat area with the key on. I'm a pretty decent mechanic (except for FI), but I'm old and starting to get a little dimentia going on (at least that's my excuse).I was checking the TPI setting - it went badly out of whack a few years ago.

I'm not overly fond of local dealers and I'm not ready to give up yet. I gotta believe it's simpler than I'm making it.Norm, I believe it is time to take it to a dealer. The TPS can only be set with software as there is no mechanical adjustment. With no instrument sweep and fuses good you have a problem that has to be addressed hands on, not by forum. To see what is going on with the relays, you need access to know good relays. Swapping them may not solve any problem or lead you to the problem.
Sorry, I originally was looking for Steve and he knows what the bike is. 1997 V10 Centauro.Since you didn't state the bike you have, I made the assumption it was a CARC bike. Apparently not. Please let us know which bike you have. In the resource section Carl has provided excellent schematics. Find the one for you machine and troubleshoot from there.
Yep! Hello Norm from Norm in La Verne, CA! BTW have friends in Asheville and love it; really cool town.Do we have 2 Norms here?
Hey i hope this is THE GuzziSteve. My father and I have a 1981 moto guzzi 1000 SP that is in very good condition. Its been sitting for 19 years in a storage unit but we managed to get it to come back alive and turn on in only 2 days. So we think there is hope for it. The battery and spark plugs have been replaced but it still will only start with the use of starting fluid. We've come to a road block and don't know whats wrong and there are no Moto Guzzi dealers in the area. It would be greatly appreciated if you would take a look at it and help us out. Thank you!Thanks all for the kind words, but unfortunately they decided to get rid of me. Their loss, they went for cheaper unexperienced personnel. If you need work done, keep me in mind.
For those w/GT-RX reflashed ECU, PCV, Autotune, I do have this set-up on my puter for installation and adjusting. Was trying to promote this set-up for best running Guzzi's
You can reach me here through messages or on WG through a PM, thank you for your support.

Yes, that's me. Seems like I have met you before, town seems familiar. Unless there is more Guzzis over there.Hey i hope this is THE GuzziSteve.

I got it 1/2 done, still have to convert the fuel map part from Tunerpro to nominal number sys that Windows understands. I did the Ign map & it took 6hrs crunching numbers. I work on it now & then. May do more soon again.
I been using a Techlusion fuel box to add fuel for now. Need a Map for Cal EV w/open in & out?
'Ol Dobeck Tech(nical Il)lusion, self named. It has always amazed me how many in the Guzzi crowd prefer to ditch a Marelli ECU and aim blindlessly of sorts instead of plug and play options.I been using a Techlusion fuel box to add fuel for now
