Bruce,
Yeah, I didn't know those tubes to the carbs were called 'carb stacks'. I
will investigate this also. Well, all I can say is that I did buy this bike
at Sport Cycle and so I am not surprised they had wrong size stacks on the
bike or wrong sized whatever. Jeeez. Bob

I bought a set of K&N filter units from Moto International to replace the OE airbox. I had to remove the carb stacks to get the K&Ns to fit and I rode the bike for several years this way. Then there was a thread on the Guzzi list about how the carb stacks are needed for better performance but some 'machining' was required to get them to fit with the K&Ns. So I bought an extra set of stacks and discovered that they were longer than the set that I had (44 mm long). Harper's told me that all Ambo/Eldo carb stacks were the same and they didn't know of any that were shorter. But mine looked just like the OEM units, same ridges, etc. Never did find out what model Guzzi they were made for. I wonder if your carb stacks are the same as mine.
