Hello Charles,
Thanks to you, Patrick et. al. for the help on the o-ring thing! I have
found that o-rings purchased at Home Depot seem to fit just fine on the 12
o'clock bolt. Is it OK to use these standard plumbing o-rings for the
Ambo.??? Thanks, Bob

Hello All,
Bob has a V700 which along with early Ambassadors has a long, bolt-like |
| | the 12 o'clock position. This is sealed with an o-ring. Yes, Bob, replace |
| | o-ring. A little Permatex 300 sealer also wouldn't hurt as well. Cheers,
Charlie

Huh? The 12 oclock stud should have a standard, small o-ring below the
cylinder. Nothing above but a washer and a special Allen headed nut for |
|
| | | | stud. Perhaps this stud had a leak earlier and the previous owner stuck |
|
| | | | o-ring up there?? Perhaps this was unique to the very early motor you |
|
| | | | (I don't think so.) The only extra o-ring is a big one about 1" in |
|
| | | | used as a seal for the big plug in the head which provides access to the |
|
| | | | oclock stud. Are you talking about this 12 oclock stud access cover |
|
| | | | The early engines used an aluminum crush washer here as a seal. About |
|
| | | | or so, Guzzi modified this access plug with a recess to accept a big |
|
| | | | I doubt you have access such cover plugs, but they can be retrofitted |
|
| | | | perhaps you do. If so, this 0-ring should be replaced almost every time |
|
| | | | is disturbed because it deforms due to head heat.
