Rich,

Sorry to hear about your starter. Where was the problem? Solenoid? Motor?

I call my 69 Aquila and my 70 original resto Dynamo-Hum.

Funny but for both these bikes being the same machine and having similar
tendencies they also have differences. Aquila is a real sweetheart. She is
smooth and quiet. Easy to ride and when I am on trips with her she flows
along with ease. On the other hand....Dynamo-Hum is a little louder and has
a little more pep. She is a little more cantancorous (sp?) in the clutch
dept and is a little more "out there" with her stripped to the bare
essentials look. When I ride her I feel like a bad... bad boy :-)

Keep us posted on the starter fix.

Regards....Ian

 Ian, I like the Zappa reference in your (which one?) bikes name. Frank was
a genius both lyrically and instrumentally. May he rest in peace and I hope
he is giving them fits up in heaven.
Guzzi content. My starter started smoking ;-( yesterday (and I warned her
that it was bad for her health). Time to check terminals, battery, contact
cleaner, brushes, springs and the such
