Engine and Transmission / Re: Engine Cam Timing Help

« on: July 28, 2022, 11:19:58 pm »

I did get it sorted out. I thought about the cam timing and from riding It knew the cam wasn't timed correctly. I did however find the specification on the degrees in which the vales open. I was able to put a dial gauge on the intake rocker arm and could note when it started to open. I put a degree wheel on the flywheel and set the piston at TDC and zeroed the degree wheel at that point with a simple paint mark on the engine case. Having zero I moved the piston until the valve started to open and found the cam was one tooth off. I reset the cam and its running great again. It just took a couple nights thinking about it and after I using the degree wheel it was fixed quickly. Thanks for your consideration! By the way I marked the cam this time so it won't happen again

So I pulled the right side cover to replace the broken neutral spring . I accidentally pulled the cam out with it and dont see timing marks to put it right again. I have a manual that in Italian. Not much help at all. Can anyone give me the procedure??

Engine and Transmission / Delloto VHB 29 A

Hi Guys

Can someone tell me the correct float height setting for my Military Nuovo? It has the standard VHB 29 A carburetor on it. The Dellorto manual has it at 24mm but with the angle of the carb on these bikes with the horizontal cylinder, plus on the side stand its at even more of an angle which can cause some flooding while sitting. I have work back on the setting to 22mm but wondering if someone has more information.

Thanks Tim

Newbies say hello / Nuovo Regulator

« on: July 08, 2020, 02:20:35 am »

Good Afternoon

I have been working on a Nuovo Falcone with a velorex sidecar attachment . It had been sitting for 15 years in upstate NY in the finger lakes region. It needed the usual going over after sitting. I was excited after a fair amount of rebuilding and general maintenance that it started and ran very well on the first kick! I left the key off kicked it through twice with the choke on. Turned the ignition on and pow, ran like a champ!
I have a pulsing generator light and I believe the regulator may be the issue. Any suggestions on a regulator that will be a close fit? The original Bosch regulators (PN 0190219001) are way over priced in my opinion! But given they are sparse maybe. In any even I would rather not cut the stock wiring as it is in fine shape but will if need be. Can anyone help. Most 12v regulators of the right type will work. I see a couple VW regulators that look close but I don't have them in my hand to check the fit. Maybe someone knows of a close replacement that fits?
