I could.. but Hmmz has already been far too helpful....
My reply would have been "Its in the Book!" Usefully available from GuzziBitz... and hours of entertainment to be had, it is too.... most of it trying to translate the fucker from Latin!!!!!
However... if you have just bought a Bluddi-Guzzi, worse an OLD Bluddi-Guzzi, worse still, one of the least popular, only a handful ever sold 'variants' of the small-block series.... its the BEST CHANCE you got!!!
And you are gonna need EVERY fucking chance you can get, BELIEVE ME!
So I recommend both the Generic 'Small-Block' book and the 'apendix' for the variants.
And DO NOT, believe ANY-ONE who says, "Oh, its just a bored out V50... bits is all the same on them things!" They aint... they very very aint!!
I have a theory, and it IS just a theory, but, when you switch it off, it starts 'plotting' the next way to send you crazy!
I did try to out-smart it once and left it running.... but it decided to out-out-smart me, and just stopped running anyway.... for NO apparent reason!!!! Then started plotting new and nafariouse reasons to not start again.
It has now worked out that I don't give up, JUST because it stops running, or wont start running... so it's getting naughty... and runs.... and lets me get half way across town or half way to the next town... and THEN... when I stop at a t-Junction.... keeps running....... but ONLY on one cylinder..... then waits until I get home and have the spanners out, and random;y SWAPS which cylinder it doesn't want to run on.... and then chuckles to itself... and when I start prodding and poking, it changes its mind how not to run on one.... between the ignition and the carburettors..... AND which pot 'not' to run on!!!!!!!
If you aren't Mad TO buy a Bluddi-Guzzi... they will sort that out and just drive you Mad... its a battle of attrition of the marbles, I can tell you.....
Good Luck....

You'll soon be on first name terms with Guy, I am sure!!!
But start with that book and the appendix... you WILL need it!!

Sorry Tef. I think yours needed a new ignition coil on one cylinder at one time. It didn't like wet weather much either. |
Mine? MINE! Noooooooooooooooo! Its not Mine, I tell you! I only seem to get tenure on the 'Problems'!!!
Lol.... Snowie changed job, just before Christmas, with condition she cover the bank-holiday shifts.
The transmission all rebuilt just before her 33-restrict was up; we risked the Derbyshire adventure, last spring... which concluded on the back of an AA truck...
Low compression was diagnosed.... so enjoying the idea you can strip the top end of a Bluddi-Guzzi with the motor still in the frame... she called her best mate Guy and got some gaskets, and sat on the sofa every evening watching chick-flicks with a pot of grinding past and the pot-top on her lap... so THAT'S why they call it 'lapping' valves! Lol!
All back together just before MOT time.... it ran really really WELL... for a few days......
I have a suspicion they do that, from time to time to lull us into a false sense of security; give us 'hope' before they dash it!
However; MOT lapsed; and as weather & work were not condusive; she let it stand....
This MAY have been the 'problem'..... gave the damn thing plenty of time to PLOT!!!!
... until just before christmas, when she swapped jobs; BUT was required to cover all the Sunday & Bank holiday 'shifts'....
So, I took it down to Bill's to get it's ticket....
Weeble had a ruddy FIELD DAY!
He sort of looked round at half a dozen hairy spanner touting bikers, and a work-shop clad in snap-on, and decided to impliment every cunning plan it had ever dreamed up!
Half a dozen mechanics attention, he was in seventh heaven.... You have to picture the scene.... Did you ever watch 'Scrap-Heap-challenge'? If so do you remember a Nuneaton Biker / Trike-Builder, called 'Nosher' and his team the 'Meglamaniacs'? If you do... it was HIS work-shop.. and Weeble lapped up their attensions and played to the crowd.....
It was sort of like giving a student dorm full of genius nerds a Rubics cube, with the sticker's re-arranged!
"How can it do THAT!"
Was uttered many a time; as sparks randomly appeared and dissapeared at alternative spark-plugs! Gears randomly engaged or refused to dissengage; fuel spurted out off either choke overflow, and he ran.. on both cylinders... just NEVER at the same time!
The 'dodgy coil' was suspected and diagnosed... and replaced....... shifting focus of attention to the igniter units; of which one had obviously been replaced in the past.....
The fun continued, at home....... and eventually I bought new coil and igniter.... and it RAN on both pots... at the SAME TIME!
So i quit whilst I was a head...
ITS SNOWIES PROBLEM, NOT MINE!!!!!!
