Re: Founders Day 2025

Thank you for the wristband, received just now.

I'd better start cleaning the T1...

I'm after a "sticks like shit to an army blanket" type base that will never come off! Thanks.
Having been once issued with an army blanket with shit stuck to it (which was only apparent when I tried to unfold it) I can assure you that won't ever find anything which sticks as well as that.

Re: Dellorto PHM40s

I also checked the needle valve (K4), main jet (AB265) and idle jet (152) were the same on both carbs. Dave, I just noticed your jetting for the carbs. You have 152 for the idle jet - this is the main jet, the idle should be in the late 50s. If you have 152 in the idle I'd be very surprised! What y...

Re: Dellorto PHM40s

The Guzzi I've been running for twenty or so years is fitted with PHM 40s. A different application I know, but I've never had any issue with vapourisation, even in slow-moving summer traffic following a fast ride.

Re: Oil pressure sensor location

I don't really know my way round 8V engines, but isn't there an oil pressure switch located between the cylinders (a mate of mine has a blocked switch and had to half dismantle his Norge to get to it)? That's just a yes/no switch which feeds a warning light, a pressure sensor could replace that.

Re: Blanking off the oil return to sump

A stub of fuel hose with an Allen bolt rammed in the end of it, hose-clipped to the spigot on the crankcase!

Such a cheapskate solution that I was hoping you weren't going to ask ;-)
