The last few years were hard on the Guzzis, first the 650 swallowed all the gas, then the 850 had electrical issues. So after putting off any meaningful work, except for ordering parts, finally got'em back together.
After replacing the ignition switch last fall, the generator light stayed on, so figured it was the voltage regulator. By the time the order arrived, the weather had turned to crap, so it sat all winter. But a rare burst of energy last week had it installed and back on the road. Still runs like a top.
The 650 gas taps had leaked fuel down into the engine and filled the sump. Replaced the taps last year, but then decided to rebuild the carbs. Finished them this spring, then replaced the air cleaners, fuel lines, and filters. Should hav'er on the road soon. Will then have two running bikes again, hard to believe!
