I think there is a simple loopframe wiring diagram at Dave Otis' site
http://www.loopframe.com
If its not there, I'm sure someone on the list has a copy of it.
Good luck!

Hi Loopers,

quick intro -- I've been riding and rebuilding bmw boxers and
american v-twins for about 10 years when I got bit by the guzzi
bug. I bought a basket case 1970 Ambassador that I am trying to do
a ground-up rebuild on. It's great :). I'm in the process of stripping
it down so I can send off the frame and other bits for powdercoating,
and am wondering if there is a preferred method for pulling the engine.

'nother question -- the PO decided to chop the factory wiring harness
and rewire with lamp and extension cords...at least I'm guessing thats what
happened as it doesn't look "factory" to me :). I believe this is a pre
turn signal ambo and it's probably a pretty simple harness. Whats the
general consensus on doing a custom harness vs buying a factor replacement?

Last one (at least for now), it seems to be leaking a good amount of
oil from around the clutch pushrod area. Is this a common problem for
these
bikes? any recommended fix?

thanks!

jeff
