How to fuel around with Guzzis

[@051570orion]

I have the Guzzi shop manual and guzziology, and feel like with all the reading I'm still not sure what or how to go about something's .. lol but I figure it out, doesn't seem to be as many detailed videos on Guzzi 's especially the 2003 California stone. Enjoyed the video sir 👍

I think Guzzis are in a world of their own as are the owners, finding a solution to a problem sometimes comes down to trial and error alone.

Hmm, I also call my fuel source a petrol tank, funny that. I like your tip for seeing where the fuel level is by using a clear tube. I heard somewhere that the builders of the pyramids used a similar thing to make sure the base was level, but I could be wrong, I may have read it, anyhow there still standing, so it must have worked, don't know if it's applicable to carburetors though, but shows what can be achieved with liquid in a tube. Keep the videos coming, they're a good laugh and slightly educational.

[@oldguyinshed1703]

The trick with the clear tube goes back to the sixties with Amal controlled leak carbs, as to educational well I'm passing on tips I found to work for me, I'm always open to neat ideas to make my life easier. thanks for watching and commenting.

"Squirty squirty electronic water pistol" what a brilliant description of fuel injection! You are making great strides. Will the Cali become your new favourite??? We need to know! Re "the manual" got a copy of "Guzziology"?? Better than any workshop manual perhaps....

[@oldguyinshed1703]

Thanks for the heads up I will look for the Guzziology, thanks for watching I will be trying to make my mind up at some point.

I have an 04 motor Guzy just like the one you got I got a little over 10,000 miles on it What’s a bike like that worth?

[@oldguyinshed1703]

It's very difficult to say. Once they get to a certain age and mileage it comes down today condition. Having said that around 2K

[@oldguyinshed1703]

Sorry I just noticed the mileage is only 10k so I would suggest it's worth more like 2.5k

I've never successfully measured a floater !

Brilliant absolutely brilliant , just wish I had thought of it as a line when I made the vid.

My 2009 california vintage keeps dying at 2500 rpm on the nose every time. No matter the gear or anything. It happen after I replaced cam shaft position sensor. I've now for new plugs new wires new temp sensor cam sensor. Still no differance. Anyone got a clue? I've also put all old sensor back on with no diffreances.

[@oldguyinshed1703]

That sounds like it could be an ECU issue or perhaps an overcharge problem. I would start with checking battery voltage whilst raising the rpm if that is ok, move onto fuel pressure, same test after that I'm afraid you are into engine management territory.

[@bnol03686]

Maybe fuel pump? There could be a leak in the line in the tank that opens under pressure. Did you resolve the issue?

[@crystalready3695]

Your a lovely guy but the presenting of your videos needs a bit of work. You keep lookin away from the camera and when you talk about what your doing you dont seem too sure about it. I suggest writin down what your going to say so ur more confident in your videos

[@oldguyinshed1703]

I am by no means a pro at this and probably to old to change but I will try to polish up a bit more, thank you for the comment I appreciate it.
