Re: Do I have an ignition problem
I was talking about the "ignition coil" of the stator. Normaly it´s the one that is wrapped in a yelloy plasic foil. From this coil goes the gren wire to the boxes under the tank via the central electric port under the right side cover. All the other coils of the stator don´t have any infl...

Re: Do I have an ignition problem
Ma experience is that starting problems begin with less than 170-180 ohm on the ignition coil/green wire. I´ve never had a coil with 300 ohm.

Re: Does anything strip paint off 3 1/2 Strada engine cases
The only stuff (of all the things I´ve tested) that worked was "Restom 4030". This is not longer available The successor is Restom 4031. A friend of mine told me that it also works

Re: oil dipstick position
With fresh oil I use the folds of my finger. If you put the mark of the stick on a fold of the finger of the other hand, you´ll see

Re: oil dipstick position
I can´t find a foto I´ve made years ago with a bunch of dipsticks with marks of diferent heights. The best way is to fill in 2,5 l, then insert the dipstick and make a (new?) mark at that point. Then you know that that is the minimum > fil in always a little more (about 10 -15 mm). Most dipsticks ha...

Re: Strada top yoke and rear sets.
Has anyone combined a Paioli top yoke from the first Stradas with the lower yoke of a Marzocchi fork?
I think the geometry should be the same and hence possible.
Any coments about that?

Re: Oil leak
That´s true! I think the problem with sticking floats happen much more frequently with the ridges of the "new" white plastic ones
Re: Oil leak
Obviously while parked at least one fuel tap was open and a float valve in one of the carbs didn´t close. That´s the way the fuel gets into the crank case :wink: and it would also happen with perfect segments on the pistons. Up to now I don´t see any reason to strip the motor (at least for that reas...
