Just got it firing!
Hello, New to Moto Guzzis and this forum - but not bikes (have had at least 30...). I acquired this 1986 SP1000 II with 62000 miles a short while back. I have adjusted the valves, cleaned the carbs (but no new bits) and replace the throttle cables with new ones. Synced the carbs with a Carb Stick. Checked and set the after market electronic ignition with a timing light. From idle up to around 4500 rpm the engine displays an annoying, unbalanced feel - hard to describe - but almost like a hammer drill feel. After 4500, and no matter what gear, the engine smoothes out and runs beautifully. Took it for about 1000 km ride this past weekend and it never missed a beat. Does this issue sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks Phil
