    Old style electronic ignition - transistorised module along with the contact breakers

    It took me a while to remember the name of the electronic transistor ignition kit that I've read about before. Something finally jogged my memory. :) velleman.eu/products/view/?id=8946&lang=en Dynatek did offer one, but it seems to be discontinued. dynaonline.com/dyna-booster-kit-dual-1/

    Old style electronic ignition - transistorised module along with the contact breakers

    V7 sport quits and eventually restarts problem help

    I would replace the mechanical regulator with a solid state adjustable one. I do this on every Tonti Guzzi that comes through my shop. Promotes charging at lower rpms and higher output over all. euromotoelectrics.com/product-p/vr-extadj.htm

    Old style electronic ignition - transistorised module along with the contact breakers

    Before switching to any electronic ignition, I would try this "capacitor module" from HMB. hmb-moto.de/Capacitor-module-all-models-with-2-contact-breakers-T3-LM1-LM-2-etc

    V7 sport quits and eventually restarts problem help

    A faulty Dyna ignition wouldn't make you lose all power, only spark. When was the last time you went through all of the electrical connections to make they're tight and clean? Especially on the terminal block just behind the steering head. 50 year old terminals lose their tension, a little...

    1977 LM 1 running lean on right side

    Why not use a stroboscopic timing light to set the timing?

    Alex, “oil leaks for $200”

    That frame fitting is really too large for the hose that's supposed to go onto it. The fitting is ~ 10 mm/3/8" and the hose from the airbox is 8mm/5/16". I buy a 5/16" to 3/8" plastic adapter at the hardware store, use a short length of 3/8" hose on that frame fitting to the adapter and 5/16"...

    If it's just the stalk you need, 3D printing one is an alternative. thingiverse.com/thing:6237141

    Static timing adjusting issue.

    You may need to pull the distributor up and out slightly, rotate the shaft one tooth, then reinsert. No need to disturb the distributor base, just remove the M6 bolt that locks the distributor in place.

    1973 Moto Guzzi identification help needed

    There's a faint "V" in front of the "M" it looks like. That engine number leads me to believe that it is a V7 Special (757 cc), possibly one of those described on the "Loop List" on ThisOldTractor.com:

    1973 Moto Guzzi identification help needed

    Loopframe Guzzis pop up on occasion with VIN tags that read "V7 Sport", this is third one I know of. How it happened hasn't been determined out as far as I know. In "80 Years of Moto Guzzi Motorycles" by Mario Colombo, it lists "V7 750 Special (1969-1971) from frame VM 00 AA to frame VM 25...

    Starter Button not on right side handlebar. Where is it?

    '71 would have a starter relay. If there is a black wire and green wire attached to the stud of the neutral switch, remove the black wire and ground it to one of the bolts securing the neutral switch to the transmission housing. This will enable the starter to work even if the neutral switch...

    Ignition generator starter magneto

    That is a Bosch alternator. It is not a "ignition generator starter magneto".

    Final drive done. Now the brakes

    What John wrote. ^^ The angle of the arms is important too. There is a lot of good information here, scroll down to the "brake" topics: thisoldtractor.com/moto_guzzi_loopframe.html A good quality cable is important too, many of the "off the shelf" cables from Europe have small, coarsely wound...

    Hi from Hope, NJ

    I don't use any "special tool" to get to the inner (small) seal. After stripping the rest of the rear drive down, I simply clean it well, then warm it in my oven or on my woodstove (during the Winter) and the outer race of the needle bearing will then drop out. Even a heat gun will sometimes...

    T3 linked brakes splitter issue

    Brake line photos. At the rear "distribution block". Runs along the frame. Rubber protector where it goes up over the frame. Forward end where the flexible line attaches. This is the holder - the end of the flexible line fits into the grommet. Front brake 'block.

    T3 linked brakes splitter issue

    So many questions... Yes, there was a "distribution block" in the front brake circuit originally. #7 in this illustration. The block bolts to the front of the lower triple tree. The hard line from the rear block to the left front caliper isn't really "mounted" anywhere other than a wire...
