Test with a multimeter NEV, are any of the spades connected to the iron core (no resistance)? if so you can either attach the black wire to this one or just not bother and rely on the mounting bolt...or both

dont bind the loom with adhesive tape, use loom tape it's non adhesive and you only fasten it at its extremes with adhesive tape. This gives flexibility. what kind of connectors does the Guzzi have? What about the moulded multi pin connectors, how are you going to do them? dont use pre-insulated bullet connectors, use the froper ones with a proper crimp tool for that kind (cant think of the name of them) PM me your email address if you want a copy of something i scanned from a magazine re building your own loom Mervin will tell you where to get the correctly coloured cables and connectors from

There are 2 adjustments Andy the first is to align the cable pulley marker and the plunger pin when the throttle is closed, use the cable adjuster for this then there is the pump stroke checking and adjustment start the bike idling and watch the front end of the pump, you will see it moving in and out of the pump body, stop the engine when it is out at its fullest extent. Measure using a feeler gauge the gap between the plate and the raised boss of the pump body, do not force the feeler gauge it should be a light sliding fit, the required spec is 0.2 - 0.25mm. if it's incorrect remove the pulley and you will find shims, add or remove shims to achieve the required measurement...usually this works out as adding shims which increases stroke

The carbon? you mean carb you'll no doubt have to strip it and clean it all out, it will have no end of gunk in there from a long time in storage, get an aerosol carb cleaner...and a compressed airline would help too

Bike does not run without choke open! Carb problem/ideas??!!
Airhead replied to Supermooser's topic in Yamaha Workshop
take it out, use a magnifying glass to verify it's blocked. clear it with a soft bristle pulled fron a nail brush or the like and blast some aerosol carb cleaner through it and the place from whence it came -
Hmm no mot and you find the clutch slipping...you must have an awfully long driveway michael

Airhead replied to Supermooser's topic in Yamaha Workshop
almost definitely a blocked pilot jet, especially as it has been standing. The fuel in the bowl evaporates over time and forms a jelly like substance in the bore of the pilot jet. The way to prevent it happening when the bike is laid up is to open the fuel cock every month or so to top up the bowl....for future referance This...assuming it was warm enough to knock off the choke in the first instance
