    P3 and B10 cams with small valve 1000? and some other ?'s

    I have a question about the B10's.... Is there someplace to purchase a new one ? All I seem to find are regrinds, and they seem to be quite expensive for reground cams, with core. I would rather have a new one at that price. Any ideas folks ?

    Help with pistons.....

    I'm using the stock Eldo 850 rods and crank, but the engine I have came with no pistons, just flaky jugs, and gnarly heads. I got a set of jugs and one piston (88 MM) off of eBay, supposedly came off a 1981 G5 1000. My thought was that I could do the "big bore" convert very inexpensive. ($1300 +...

    Help with pistons.....

    I have 2 "C" jugs, one "C" piston (came with the jugs off of eBay) and the "B" piston I got from Toner. Haven't ordered rings yet. Honed out one side of the case to fit the jug, working on the other side. And, I'm still trying to find a weight from a stock 850 piston so I can start on getting...

    Help with pistons.....

    John, my measurements showed that the "B" piston was only .03 MM smaller than my "C" piston. Do you think there will be a noise problem aka piston slap ?

    Help with pistons.....

    Hey, Toner, let me know what you want for that piston. You can email me at rwtools@att.net I'm gonna try it, looks like my only option right now. Thanks !

    Help with pistons.....

    Well, "B" is closer than "A", let me check the clearances, I may still try and use it. So, hang on to that thought......

    Help with pistons.....

    Hello all, I need another piston, pair of pistons, and rings like this one pictured. Supposedly, these came off of an 81 G5 1000. Inside markings say Mondial piston,2639.2, and the top markings are Guzzi, SC, an arrow, and C. I find it odd that this piston is full round, with no cutout...

    Cylinders look nice. What now?

    Sorry, Charlie, I wasn't trying to insult you by labeling you a "purist", just taking note of the good original-type resto work you do, according to your pictures on your website. I have been the same way on some projects in the past. Just not going that way today. So, the jugs came in today...

    Cylinders look nice. What now?

    Well, Charlie, I bought those cylinders, out of greed and impatience. Now you've given me more fuel for the fire. Where do you get a "B10" cam, and what carbs would you recommend ? Forgive me, I know you're probably a purist, but I have even considered putting a single carb on, ducted to both...

    Cylinders look nice. What now?

    How are these cylinders made for the '81? It looks like it's been sleeved. Is that factory ?

    Cylinders look nice. What now?

    This would be my '72 Eldo 850 "barn find". So this would be a good deal, getting these cylinders and maybe new pistons & rings ? I'll be all over that. Then I can get started on the rest of the bike.

    Cylinders look nice. What now?

    I found some cylinders from an 81 G5 1000, will those fit in the 72 case ? And the pistons are probably still readily available ? Yeah, I know, I'm gonna "bastardize" this thing anyway, if they fit, and it runs, I'm all the better, and not out $1350 for big bore kit from California-you-know-who...

    Cylinders look nice. What now?

    Here's another thought.... What about having an aircraft cylinder reman company bore out old jugs, and re-chrome ? What are options with pistons after that ?

    Cylinders look nice. What now?

    What about the Cycle Garden kits ? Are they still available ? Are they worth having, at almost $1k ? I am wanting to get started on my Eldo project (got a title- Yay !) Wondering if I should do all the puttering parts first, i.e., electrical, paint, brakes and shocks, fabrication, then worry...

    Any reason this will not work on a loop?

    The Harper's kit is a bit pricey, but if it's a good reliable system, I would go for it. Does anyone have any experience with this kit from Harper's ?

    Any reason this will not work on a loop?

    What about a Dyna electronic conversion for Eldo ? Does such a thing exist ? Or maybe some other brand ?

    Serial number search

    Oh. Sorry about the "chick" reference. I liked the emblem because I planned a black base/clear, orange pinstripes color scheme, and thought that type of emblem would look good. John, do you have some names of these companies ? I spent the past hour trying to google different things, not...

    Serial number search

    Has anyone had any problem trying to explain to the DMV idiots that a Guzzi only has a 5 digit serial number? Am i not looking hard enough ? All I see is the neck tag, and the engine number on the side of it. Nothing else. These Okies are a pain. Cannot find the title, or previous owner. May be...

    Serial number search

    On the home page, there are some pics in a slideshow. One's a chick, then the GuzziTech logo, an aluminum (?) custom cafe, and a black Guzzi with an orange tank emblem. I like that, would go well with the color scheme I am planning.

    Serial number search

    Thanks for getting me back on ! Yes, it looks like a major project. However, I am not taking a purist approach, even after sitting on a running 72 Eldo in Tulsa Saturday. That was so cool ! 8-) I've ridden lots of different stuff over the years, but that pure mechanical sound and feel just...
