Thank you for doing this. A lovely Convert... My dream bike having had, first a Quota 1000, then later an earlier Mille GT, then my left hand/wrist packed up so I've got a Honda DCT bike now, which is fine, and good and all that, but it's not Moto Guzzi with carbs and everything just so simple. This series is such a worthwhile resource for this specific bike, so, thanks again.

The flywheel to the crank or the starter ring to the flywheel? For both, no. For the flywheel to the crank, it is going on exactly as it came off. But you bring up a point that I never thought of!

1. The motorcycle is not finished yet. I am recording as I review / discover. Life's problems are not discovered and solved in 22 minutes. 2. I am not a professional. How on earth could you believe that someone working on a motorcycle in their garage would be a professional? 3. If you watched the first episode, you would have discovered that I have no idea what I am doing. I have miss identified parts on my first walk through and am still stumbling through. As for you, why are not offering productive comments? I am recording what I am doing, when I am doing it. I will show the fixed item when I actually gets to that stage. Normally, I cannot identify what is not working until I somewhat get it operational. In the case of the tail light, I am still sourcing parts. This rebuild is a work in process of a motorcycle that had a stuck engine, where nearly every system was stuck, frozen, or rotted. It now runs and has 95% less rust. What I am offering is a view of how I work through the process. It is not a how to video by any stretch. It is only a fly on the wall video. I can tell that my videos are not for you. I understand that. Please don't watch if you want a how to video. Finally, if you are a professional motorcycle, please post a link for your channel and your videos. I would love to watch.

Hi, thanks a lot for fantasti video !!!!! At 1:00:20 I see torque converter is whole part with starting gear crown, so I-Convert have specific flywheel that is not intercheangeable with other from T3, SP, etc ? Also, I see the 2 junction of ATF hoses on trasmission box; all this box is fill of ATF ? If yes it is necessary sealed gasket between trans and torque converter to avoid ATF leaks ? Final info, please don' hate me.....:have you checked the small exagonal shaftthat drive the ATF pump located in front engine cover ? Some times exagon beveling, so the shaft turn free and do not operate the ATF pump; this cause ATF boiling and bike run very slow. Thank you so much for your patience !!!!

Hi, I have the same motorbike, it starts a couple of times, but now isn't working anymore, I change battery, spark plugs, condenser, It has good spark, gas coming in, but it doesn't want to start, what it could be?
@VintageRestorations-by-WS
@VintageRestorations-by-WS Ай бұрын
Ok. Here is what I would check, in this order: 1. Are the spark plug wires reversed? If no, go to the next step. 2. Do you have consistent spark? If yes, go to the next step. 3. Is the coil hot when you tried to start it? If no, go to the next step. 4. Do you have at least decent compression? Take out a plug and put your thumb over the hole and turn over. If you have compression, go to the next step. 5. Spray some starting spray in the carbs. If it runs, clean out the carbs. If not, go to the next step. 6. Check and adjust the valves. If the bike had been previously running, this is probably the problem. After adjusting the valves, go to the next step. 7. Check and adjust the ignition timing. After all this, it should run

I got to ride one of these when road testing an Alchemy - a 1990s era Australian Ducati upgrade - when the battery died and the owner came to pick it up. It was a big, smooth, gentleman's ride, with a definite threat of torquey response when needed. An excellent bike.

You understand you do not need to use compressor because Guzzi has tapered barrels! Plenty of oil and push!
@VintageRestorations-by-WS
@VintageRestorations-by-WS Ай бұрын
I have never had any luck doing that. If installing on the workbench, perhaps. Installing on the motorcycle when the bike is strapped, harder for me. Also, I have broken so many oil rings doing that, that I will not do that ever again! If I use a ring compressor, I am guaranteeing myself that the piston will go on and that the rings will not gouge the cylinder.... I find a piston ring compressor very easy to use, actually.

I had a 1973 850;GTL. When i lived in germany. Never let me down. Simple like a tractor( I was told that the engine was the same as used in the little 3 wheeled in ittalian pick ups used in italy. It was a wonderful bike. I had a ural sidecar on it. I rode it all over europe. I finally had to sell it due to losing my job. I regret it to this day even though its been nearly 40 years.

The rear shocks are S&W by Monroe. Aftermarket parts often seen on Gold Wings. I had them in the 1980s on ab BMW. There has to be a T-connector with a tire valve to pressurize both shocks with the same amount.

I bought an 850 gtl in germany.i think it wasi in 1974. I really loved this bike simple, powefful (for its time) i rode it all over germany. In 74 i had some issue with cylinder walls scoringi had a friend take it in his converted mannheim city bus camper to Italy. He and his wife, me and mine. The guzzi was in the back. We drove ton the factory in the city of mandala del lario am como see( its been a long time so. I am not sure of the spelling of the city. It was on lake como. The factory wasmon strike for some communist reason or other. Since we had come all The way from germany they said they would fix it. So the strikers bro I e their picket line and pushed it inside. ,we continued ith our vacation then picked up on our return. No charge. In the next years i had a sidecar mounted (actually 3 different ones. A steib "behorden boot" a big sidecar used by the police (kids would ask where my dog was) because they rode in the sidecar. I took my son my wife and daughter to italy.in it this was before all the tourists came.,,we weny to venice, pisa (photos of us show virtually no people in pisa or venice. Anyvway ive gone on too long. I purchased a 45 liter "Roland Eckert tank and ural side.car and brought .it. to the states. In 1977 i had the motor upgraded to 1,000occ..due to financial. Problens i was forced to sell. Ibtried to finf her over the years but i never did. The guzzi was a great bike.

You should find another one and fix it... as an FYI, the cylinders and pistons on this machine are fantastic! Already honed them and they should be great for the long term future! So the stuck piston, caused the the rust ring, was easily rectified!
