Breakdown with my Moto Guzzi 850t

[@paulcooper5610]

Lovely bike. Moto Guzzi and starting issues, quite a lot of information about that particular topic over the years and various models on the Guzzi forums. I have a 2007 Moto Guzzi Bellagio and I have made several modifications to the starter motor circuit as suggested by the forums and yet I still carry a jump pack battery under my seat just in case. I guess the battery wasn't charging. Hopefully you will let us know the problem once you fix it and please keep up the videos, nothing better than seeing a classic Guzzi.

Thank you, there is still a lot of work needed to be done on this bike, it was the first time that I took it out for trial run. I'll keep making movies about this bike. For now I parked it in my living room for Christmas, so I get to enjoy looking at it for the holidays.

6:38. Starter motor has not enough power to engage. Don't continue, the tooth on the flywheel will damage. Probably the Wehrle regler (?), and the diodeblock must be checked also. As well as all wires connections in the charging system.

[@PeterWijngaarden]

Yes I checked al the wiring and regulator. But in this case it was the battery, because it was not completely full when I left and it need replacing.

[@achimrotard901]

But Generator should load enough to feed the ignition. Need to be tested. ​@@PeterWijngaarden

[@PeterWijngaarden]

I will check it again.​@@achimrotard901

Had one of these in the `80 a T3 from 1976, loved it.

They have so much feeling to them while riding, you ove it or you hate it. I ❤ it!

[@stevetaylor8698]

Veglia instruments were always very attractive.

[@PeterWijngaarden]

They sure are ❤

I read somewhere and have found it to be true that 90 percent of electrical problems are found to be fuel related. And vice versa.

3 km isn't that bad, i pushed my Shadow over 5km in hot summer day once. Only because vent hole in gas tank cap was clogged :D It was my first bike and i didnt know much about it yet, great times. Nice Guzzi BTW, she's a real beauty

[@PeterWijngaarden]

Thanks, she's not in a mint condition, but I like her looks. She's parked in the living room for the winter. Pushing a bike is a warm exercise 😅

😁 Riding an oldtimer brings old times back. It was normal in the 70's that the machine had its own will. Probably a wire rattled off..

[@PeterWijngaarden]

That's what I thought, too. But yesterday I found it was the petroltap that did not work on reserve. And the voltage of the battery was low. This as standing still for the last 5 years. It was leaking oil out of the gearbox and reardrive. That I fixed, but it still needs some attention, that's the fun of an old timer for me 😊
