Subject: exhaust probs


 to whoever wrote this (i've lost track):

"cookie I always thought exhaust if it pops letting off the throttle and
intake air leak if it popped getting on the throtle? B."

an air leak at the exhaust manifold will pop on the over run. an air leak
on
 the intake will just make it run weak in my experience.

now if anyone knows how to stop an eldo getting a loose joint at the
head/downpipe i'd like to know. got a friends bike doing this all the
time.
 NOT the nut coming loose (it's the locknut type), it just eats the gasket
after a few miles, air gets in, backfires like crazy. i put new gaskets in
&
 it's fine for a while, then same thing.

it started happening when new mufflers were fitted with rear balance pipe
removed. i think it may be to do with the pipes moving & flattening off
the
 gaskets. however the exhaust assy doesn't appear to be moving any more
than
 stock.

i must have put 6 sets of ex gaskets in that bike & i'm getting fed up
now.

 I heard a little while ago that the popping could be from looseness at
the
 
 head/exhaust header joint, or somewhere close to that. Check to make
sure
 
 the exhaust is tight up there, and/or has no leaks.

 I am working on a 74 Eldo I just picked up with Amal Carbs. When I let
off the throttle and am gearing down
it pops through the mufflers. I have played with the air screws and it has
gotten better, but it is still
 there. I have checked the carb intake gaskets and they are fine. Someone
told me
this is a common problem with running amals on a Guzzi. Any ideas

almost certainly an air leak as matt has said
