The Guzzi sounds fantastic. The Ariel is a work of art. The Greeves is getting there and the Benelli is just strange!! Every time I get on KZbin I check your channel first to see if there’s anything new!! Thanks, Tony

That's not a bad office you have got there. As long as you don't break anything, you'll be OK. Like you said, patience.

Dig the Moto Bluzzi and the Ariel. I feel your pain when it comes to these old bikes, I'm getting my butt kicked by a Triumph T140 at the moment. It seems like every time I get it running great and start to celebrate my success, some new issue pops up. My other two vintage bikes run beautifully, so having one problem child isn't the end of the world I guess, but I want to sell the bike sometime this riding season and I won't get crap for it if it's not sorted out and running well.

Yeah, sometimes they kick at your butt. I give up less now but learned to be patient.

I ended up making my own parts for my 60cc Chibi. Just started up today perfect. No one in America has parts . 1972 Rockford Bridgestone Chibi 60cc. I tried everyone.

Well done Dave! Good to hear the Binelli. Sounds bigger than it is. That Ariel will be fun. Especially the opposite shifting pattern! Guzzi sounds great!

Don't beat yourself up young Dave. A backhoe and hole in the ground will fix the Greeves.

Piston port two strokes when race tuned always loaded up and were a pita. Modern synthetic oil mixed lean and a racing plug should help.

The greeves. Two stroke crankshaft seals can become hard and not seal very well after a long period of time.

Yes. the original Ambassador 750 and Eldorado 850, each which came out after this model, but based on this model, and made famous by Clint Eastwood in Magnum Force, which was the 1971 Ambassador.
