 The motor seemed to want to pick up speed sometimes
at idle. I don't
think I have a vacuum leak. Would stretched
distributor advance springs
cause this (like they do on Yamaha XS650s)?

The springs were very stretched when I put my ambo on
the road, but it didn't effect the idle.

Bikes like yours make me feel like I am not doing my
bike justice. (I mean that as a compliment.)

 Subject: Hydraulic Lifters

Why have they gone to using external push rod tubes?

 How about a Loop get-together in conjunction with
the "Guzzis in the Blue Ridge" rally?

I may stop in at the Blue Ridge rally. It's in the end
of June, isn't it? I'd be with my family, not my bike,
probably.

-Mike (69 Ambo)
