Since its a band aid maybe it's installed in a similar fashion?You have your answer if you read all the posts.
The fat duc is not going to solve your problem.
Sorry, sometimes the truth stinks.

So did you get into eComStation (eCS)? I ran with it for about 3 or 4 years, but with such a small user base more and more hardware wasn't supported.Man i sure miss OS/2. installed it a few years ago for nostalgia sake, will it run in a vm? have an esxi server here running at about 1% capacity.
Don't have to read when I have experience.there are plenty of users who are actually happy with it... if you read the entire forum maybe
Latest fuel map for V7II is 4533V796 according to my dealer.Have you confirmed that you have the latest map for V7 II?
Mine came delivered from the dealer with out-of-date map and had same symptoms you (and many others) have described. At first service -- at a different dealer -- the new map solved that.
I THINK the new one is 756, but my wife, who is stamping her foot in that do-not-ignore-me way, says it is time to hike (we are in the Cinque Terre). If I survive, I'll see if I can find the number.

Because, usually, the new one is better that the old one. There are some many parameters, factors, and use situations that there probably isn't a "right" for everyone. I'm sure that MG and GT collect feedback and make adjustments from time to time.Why should you need the latest fuel map from Moto Guzzi? If they couldn't get it right the first time but used it anyway what do they figure out every so often since the last one? Does Guzzitech change his maps every so often so he can sell them again? Not that I know of he does it the right way before he sells it to the consumer.
I'll try to not take offense to that last part with the simple fact that this is a ultra-miniscule brand that I have chose to focus on, and my $ investment to do it outside of my valuable time was huge, so it's return on investment proposition that I face. $495 is as cheap as I can do it knowing that a huge portion of that goes to the company that makes the tool. If you factor in my time to develop all of the maps, I make pennies on the dollar. There simply isn't a large market here.I am looking at getting a Moto Guzzi V7 II or V7 III, but I do NOT want to buy a new motorcycle and then have to spend $500 plus to make it run well. That's just outright thievery.
No, more to do with the cold temp compensation charts; Fuel richening and timing advance.strange thing, now that it's winter I don't have this problem anymore... I wonder if was due to the opposite... too hot make gas evaporate?? who knows
Apologies, no offense intended, in fact that comment was not meant at you, but at Moto Guzzi.I'll try to not take offense to that last part with the simple fact that this is a ultra-miniscule brand that I have chose to focus on, and my $ investment to do it outside of my valuable time was huge, so it's return on investment proposition that I face. $495 is as cheap as I can do it knowing that a huge portion of that goes to the company that makes the tool.

Guzzi's still are an ancient design, and getting them to pass emissions in a modern world, is nothing short of miraculous. If you don't want to pay to make them run right, perhaps Guzzi isn't the brand for you. There are a lot of things with Guzzi that make no sense in a modern world... but that's not why people buy them. Just a thought and something to really consider.

As stated above, they run OK. They V7 III is much better out of the box over the V7 II on warm up. Both of them run extremely lean, and the III pumps air into the exhaust port of the cylinder head. The fact that they run at all, and reasonably well, is really is impressive. Ten years ago, they would've struggled to last the warranty period. Modern metallurgy and technology wins.My comment was that I cannot believe that Moto Guzzi cannot make a bike that runs well from the get go. It seems unbelievable to me that they would produce a product, that does not work properly without outside assistance. I understand that the basic design is old and agree that it is quite impressive that they do work in this tight emissions world. But if doing so creates a product that does not work well, then most companies would create a new product that did work..
OK, what am I missing here. I have owned far to many cars and trucks in my life and never have I had to wait for it to "warm up". OK, in northern Alberta when it's 30 below zero wait for 5 minutes for warm up. But that's it.
I've have owned a 1979 Ducati Darmah 900 SD. a 1980 Kawasaki KZ1000. a 1995 Kawasaki KLR650 and a Honda 250 of unknown age ond pedigree and have never had to wait for any of them to warm up. Just fire up and go.
Perhaps the issue is Moto Guzzi, perhaps not, but this seems very strange to me.

So why is this not the case with cars and trucks, not to mention Japanese bikes? I'm curious to understand.It's not just Guzzi, most all new non-jap bikes will need fueling mods to make them perform correctly.
Looking at your list of previous bikes it's easy to see that these bikes were produced before the EPA standards we have today.
Can't compare those to today's bikes.
Look at my list of current & previous bikes especially note the 2002 Guzzi Jackal, 2011 Guzzi Black Eagle, 2013 Guzzi Griso, 2014 Guzzi 1400, 2015 Victory Gunner, 2013 Victory Tour. Every one of these bikes have had fueling modifications / maps to make then run correctly.
Cost between the Guzzi & the Vic is about the same but the difference in performance is greater on the Guzzi, totally transforms the bike.
I ride with Ducati, BMW, Triumph, Victory & yes Harley owners.
The only ones who have not done fueling mods are the part time riders.
The Harley guys spend many thousands of dollars just to get their bikes to keep up with my stock Vic.
