Ged at GCS has got it up and running, he says it sounds better than it has any right to do. Starter is goosed apparently, I said it used to work ok and he replied well it has compression now ha ha! The rear brake torque arm went missing somewhere along the line but Alan Bell is sending one to him. After that it's just tidying up duties and it should be ready for action.
 
Hey Mark, nice to see you out and about,
Looks like you are just round the corner from me and Pete.
Will send you a PM
Cheers
Tom
 
Me while searching for an electrical gremlin on my SF1 – lastly turned out to be a slightly broken regulator cable lug

That's true Breganzie 750 SF'er hanging your jacket on the crotch grabber ;o)

Looks like he's playing with the Coil wires !

Really all he has to do is file, clean and reset the Points ;o)

SF's are notorious for moisture to collect in the distributor - FIX = Drill a 1/8" hole in the bottom of the Distributor cap and apply a permenent Amphoric Gasket Sealer to the Distributor Cap to Engine case contact.

When I got my 1969 American Eagle from Oregon to Germany, it was the first time I saw a seal between the cover and the ignition housing.
This seal has definitely been manufactured industrially and is precisely matched to the shape and holes.
That was the only time I've seen such a seal on a Laverda 750. In the original spare-part lists there is not such a gasket listed.

With a little grease on the screws for sealing, the seal works perfectly.
E.g. the 421 km return trip from the Austrian Laverda meeting in heavy rain last year was done by the Eagle without any problems.
