Bob,

While your at the auto parts check on VW beetle generator models for the
regulator and possibly a generator itself. They use a Lucas brand regulator
which might work.

Tim,
Thanks a lot. I am going to go to the Guzzi dealer here and see what he
has
today other than the $110 new GUzzi regulator. Will also take the
regulator
to an auto parts store to see if they have a similar looking regulator.
Also, I think I need a new generator as I think this one is beat. I am
beginning to figure that if I change out generator and regulator combined
with me just refurbishing the starter I ought to have a more reliable bike.
Man, this process sure is time consuming! Thanks again Tim, BOb

Hey Bob,

When I first got my Ambo, it had a Bosch regulator on it, which is
incompatible with the Marelli generator. I took it to a good shop and

the

tech tested the generator, and then they sold me a regulator that was

for
a

'65 Ford, for $10. It was identical to the regulator as shown in the
Loopframe repair manual. It worked for a while then my system went out,

but

it was the generator. I since had Mark, at MG Classics rewire most of

it,

and he put on a good generator and regulator.
The same tech just rebuilt my starter. I will see what he gets for them,

and

what they are in other places. I think thhis is mentioned in the Tips

book,

too.

Current wisdom has it that you need the Marelli regulator, or a Lucas.

Even

the Lucas was only about $35 dollars, last time I checked.
