This sounds fun Tony - please put me down for a place.

Thanks Dave

My T4 has a Norge 8v engine with roller tappets and has done 18k miles overall. It's just been for the MSVA (failed on exhaust noise) but it raised some other questions. 1) I've set the ETB tacho switches to 1 as I assumed there is no wasted spark - is that correct? 2) Once warmed up, the idle speed...

On that subject I was thinking this could be a good potential location if people are not expecting 5 star luxury. It also has an entertainment space and camping etc and is adjacent to the Norfolk coast.. We know the people who run it so it might be possible for them to make special arrangements for ...

I have my T4 engine setup the way you describe Mark (8v Norge) which has worked fine during testing. It's helpful to have it corroborated by you

Thanks Dave

I rebuilt the gearbox on my Type 3, including shimming the selector drum, but it still occasionally demands care to get it into first gear, so it's a characteristic of this type of gearbox to be awkward I would say. It could be that you have a selector drum problem but it seems a bit unlikely given ...

I'm at the final build stages before putting the T4 body on. What have you guys used rubber seal wise where the steering shaft goes through the front bulkhead. The same question applies at the rear tunnel where there is access to the swinging arm pivot bolt.

Thanks

I have some donor bike parts available from my Type 4 build that I don't need. The donor was a one owner Norge 8v with 18K miles on the clock and full Guzzi service history. As far as I can tell, these parts should fit most if not all of the Guzzi bikes with the 1200 engine (but someone with more Gu...

Trailer1.jpg I have a Brian James Minno based enclosed car trailer for sale. It's perfect for the Type1, Type 2 and Type 3 Trikings but not the Type 4, which is why it's for sale. It has a lightweight box section steel frame, panelled with aluminium and a drop down ramp. The base chassis is a Brian...

I have it from several sources that the oil pump should be changed whenever a roller conversion has shown tapped wear. It had been found that the very fine metal particles could increase the clearance between the pump gears and so reducing the oil flow. Still made more than 5psi which keeps the oil...

When your 2011 engine was changed to rollers instead of flat tappets did you change the camshafts as well? I've heard anecdotally that the flat tappets can damage the camshafts although I guess if the camshafts look and measure fine at the time of the change, then there's no need to replace them as ...
