Welcome to the GT Forum. In honor of your Dad, and as outlined above, we need more info (photos are always most helpful). Hope to see you here again soon responding.All I know is its a '74 Motto Guzzi , it was my Dads , and I want to get it running. Its a complete bikeand has been sitting since '86. Where do I start?
Thanks for all the great advice everybody. My mechanical skills are are not the greatest. I'd say I'm more of a go-kart mechanic than anything. I can change the parts , simple repairs ect. I've done a motor / tranny swap ( never solo) . Never been further than the valves in anything except A 125 tao tao(chinese knockoff quad) that was frozen up. Complete success , my ol'lady puts around it. As far as the guzzi, that second picture is it except the motor look like the first pic.Oh yeah! Now THERE's a project. It's a long road ahead... but a great ride indeed.

Of course you can boost it from your car or truck , JUST don't have the vehicle running when
you do it . And you'd be using good jumper cables . Peter
