    Chewed spark plug

    I don't know Dan. I'm assuming it was valves that biffed the plug, rather than the piston. Seemed the previous owner (who's unfortunately no longer around) knew enough to install different plugs... Edit - actually valves doesn't make any sense Dan. It must be the piston..

    Chewed spark plug

    Hi, I have an '81 Lemans 2 with 88 mm barrels (iron liners) and pistons. I have owned it for about 6 months, but have put very few miles on it getting it ready for registration. The heads and barrels were recently off to replace the base gaskets, which the previous owner had installed wrongly...

    Jetting 36mm carbs for Lemans 2

    Rod Thanks for all the really helpful advice and for taking the time to respond. And no offence taken - my knowledge of carbs is rudimentary, but I am aiming to learn more. I have stripped down one of the carbs and am in the process of writing down all the details and making a list of what I...

    Jetting 36mm carbs for Lemans 2

    Thanks for the reply Rod. I originally left the bike with a mechanic who was having a lot of difficulty getting the current 40mm carbs working. He just couldn't get the bike to idle or run smoothly and the labour costs were starting to wound me. I brought the bike home and just pulled the...

    Jetting 36mm carbs for Lemans 2

    I'm replacing the carbs on a Lemans 2 I bought recently. It came with 40mm Dellorto racing carbs - no pumpers or chokes and not practical for street riding. I've decided to go with 36mm Dellortos and will put an order in soon. But I need some help deciding what jet sizes to order with the...

    Help please - Best carbs for Lemans 2

    Hi, I'm a new member, but a long time avid reader. My first Guzzi was a Lemans 5 which I owned for about 8 years and sold in 2005. I loved that bike and poured money into it - used it for daily commutes and cross country jaunts. I sold it and got out of bikes for awhile. My next bike was an...
