    engine rebuilding

    Thanks John. Its actually for my VIII Monza, but it can be pretty quiet on the small block posts, and since my question is kind of generic, I thought I'd post it here. Hope that is ok. I have not checked my clearances. I began figuring out how to do it, but with so much on my plate, I...

    engine rebuilding

    Hello everyone. I stripped down my bike and sent all the engine and transmission cases to be vapor blasted. Just got them back and they look fabulous. I have cleaned all of the internal bits thoroughly with mineral spirits and compressed air and going to start re-assembling. This will be my...

    How to clean badly corroded carb

    Thanks everyone. I see that these also clean engine cases, cylinder heads, etc, anyone got any experience with that? How does the finish compare to blasting? Obviously the size of the tank is a factor, but a quick search reveals for instance a 9 liter unit for $358 on Amazon, that might be big...

    How to clean badly corroded carb

    Thanks Todd. I just found a place nearby. The carb is actually for a little 1966 Honda that I bought to ride the half mile back and forth to the shop. Having only dealt with Guzzi, I have been shocked at how hard it is to find some basic parts for this thing. I have found only one single...

    How to clean badly corroded carb

    So, I started going through a bike I purchased recently for cheap. It has sat for a long time and inside the carb is badly built up corrosion that is blocking passages and eroding the carb body. Anyone got a suggestion on how to break this stuff up and clean out the passages? Just to be...

    Cx 100 cylinders on an 850t

    Thanks Guys. We'll see whether I move forward with these swaps. I appreciate the help. I have finally gotten confident with my wrenching skillls, but can see what I need to start learning before I start messing around with performance design. The posts all discuss "improvements to...

    Cx 100 cylinders on an 850t

    Or is it simply that the with the way I ride, I would not actually notice the performance differences of these models?

    Cx 100 cylinders on an 850t

    Thanks Guys. Charlie,I have the 88mm gilardoni set for the cx. So, I am good to go? I assume by standard you mean the stock guzzi cylinders? John,can you give me a sense of what rpms we are talking about? I tend to hang around 4000, but when pushing up a decent, or long, grade, I run up to...

    Cx 100 cylinders on an 850t

    Thanks John. I have done the rear drive gear swap to the sidecar ratio, and it was indeed a huge improvement, and for 90% of the time its all I need. But what I am looking for now is more power in the hills. We've been doing two to three week trips in the rig, and when I have my wife, kid...

    Cx 100 cylinders on an 850t

    Anyone know offhand if these Gilardoni cx/sp100 cylinders that I have in my hand will fit my T? Or similarly will the cx/sp100 heads bolt up with the T jugs? They will eventually go back to the cx100 when I re-assemble it, but for now, I wanted to try the 36mm carbs and bigger displacement on...

    Fairing suggestions for a the 850T

    Thanks for the input. I have not made any progress towards a choice, I want it to work of course, but then I get hung up on the aesthetics. I did however purchase a cx100 a month ago, its in boxes, and came with two fairings sets. The original, stock, 3 piece set up of the LeMans 2, and a...

    Fairing suggestions for a the 850T

    I don't mind getting a little wet, I am however tired of getting immediately soaked. Thanks for the tip on parabellum. Somehow my searches never came up with them. I just sent them a message. I am still curious to hear some impressions of the SP fairing setup. Hopefully someone will speak up.

    Fairing suggestions for a the 850T

    Yeah, I have seen that one, and there are usually some Wixom's available on ebay, but admittedly just not too excited by them aesthetically. Hoping to find something a little more "sporty." I can deal with making the mounting hardware, and doing some fiberglass work. But after all that I want...

    New to me Monza

    Chris, Thanks, that's great. This will be a big help. I'll definitely be gutting the electrics and doing a custom wiring, so this will be very helpful. Your bike looks fabulous, and looking forward to getting mine back into shape. It surprised me as to what a blast it was to ride, and...

    Fairing suggestions for a the 850T

    Perhaps I am just getting older, or maybe its cause I ride regardless of the weather, but having got caught in the rain yet again, I began to think that maybe it was time for a fairing. While I was happy for them, it was pretty tough to watch my wife and child sitting pretty in the sidecar...

    LeMans Mark 1 value

    John, Is that true of the factory stamped number on the frame itself, under the vin # plate? The numbers on that plate on my T and Eldorado match, but when I pulled that plate to paint the frame of the T, the number that is on the headstock is different. As far as the Lemans goes, the...

    LeMans Mark 1 value

    Thanks guys. I spoke again with the owner, (who has since broadcast the sale more widely.) Apparently I misheard about the stop, it is not busted, but he also reports the vin number as 72078, which does not seem correct either, for what he claims it to be. Am I wrong? I am no mathematician...

    LeMans Mark 1 value

    Thanks stmike. That seems to be what keeps coming up. They are asking ten, but there are a couple of red flags to me. The vin numbers all check out, but the fairing was replaced (he said it didn't have one when he purchased it) there are new clip ons, and the steering stop is busted. Makes...

    LeMans Mark 1 value

    What do people think a reasonable sale price for a well sorted LeMans Mark 1 would be? Or, put another way, since value is in the eye of the beholder, what have they been selling for and what would you pay?! And no, I am not selling one, but I have come across one that the owner is considering...

    New to me Monza

    Sorry for the delay, I have been away in the woods all summer. Thanks Todd. Yeah, if you could get him to post a little, that would be great. I know it wasn't the most exciting question, but still thought I might get some input. And, yes, it is a V50. I intend to pull the engine out of the...
