Bob
Its thru the MGNOC Frank Wedge administers it.
I believe its $18 a copy. These are reprints from MGNOC newsletters with
various tips and ideas in them, a few illustartions too. I find it useful
as a new looper
Get volume 1 since the tips are collected from the 70's to 1984. I think
this issue would have the most tips about loops in them. I think there are
3 volumes in total, but I haven't read anything but vol. 1. MAybe the
others are good too.

I'll go check the address and price and get back to you

All the Best
Pete

Hi Guys,
Want to share an experience from this past weekend and chalk up another
example of how this list has been valuable to me.

Never having had a Loop before I had no reference point to its "normal"
characteristics.

The 71 I bought started and ran OK, but I have always had this very slow
cranking speed. I thought it was normal . the starter would "bog" when
starting at hot engine temp. It just barely turned over. It didn't
seem
right.

I tried , a fresh garden tractor battery, then a larger cranking
capacity
battery, Cleaned all terminals, All helped but still I have the bog.

Then from reading recent posts and the Guzzi Tips booklet, I started
zeroing
in on the starter.
I took the plunge this weekend ( I suffer from "electro-phobia") .
I usually avoid electrical repairs but, after reading the list and
hearing
how others do it yourself, I pulled the starter and popped the brush
assembly out and sprayed contact cleaner on and shined up the armature
with
emery.
Lubed the bushings and the problem is solved.!

It cranks like a "normal" bike.

I'm writing this out in case it helps anyone else with a similar
problem.

Thanks everyone for exchanging tech info. I am sorry I couldn't make
the
WNY rally and meet some of the clan.

When are MD and VA rallys?

Pete
