Hi

Can anyone answer whether a smiths tacho from a British bike will work on my 860? what ratio 4.1?

I had poor charging on my 860GT as well when I got it. Same low voltage. On GT's the Red light is a Indicator only to say the ignition is on. It's not a charge. If not working blown globe, poor connection (lume etc) . Also it comes from the fuse box under the seat Violet coloured wire 3rd fuse in on...

Can report that problem was with carby's have pulled apart and cleaned , blow air through it, checked, checked and double checked sync again, put it all together again and BINGO :-D Timing was good, valve clearance, Inet Manifold gaskets good, exhaust clamps, Electronica ignition coils was all good....

timing all good! Still didn't found out if pickups are ajusted individually? However can report that problem was with carby's have pulled apart and cleaned , blow air through it, checked, checked and double checked sync again, put it all together again and BINGO :-D No fouled plug no couching, farti...

I know this post was last year. I have the same Issue at the moment.

Did the new Carby's fix it?

Well this continuation of my previous post to get my GTE running right. I have a bike running rich on the front cyclinder and pops and coughs when de-accelaration. Fouls up the spark plug :( . I have rebuilt the carbs and synced them. The bike came to me with a rebuilt engine and I don't know it's r...

No Joy :( :cry: Well, have fitted new correct size jets 122,needle and seats, atomisers AB265, needles. Just about everything except the slides. Matched up choke jets to 75. Found idle jets missed matched as well 58 and 60. Have another 60 coming! Adjusted float bowl levels. Front carb has newer sty...

Sorry mate,
I was on another tangent! I was looking at getting some trumpets and read about chokes sizes etc- thinking cable/lever chokes (starting)- that choke not size of carby!
The Penny has dropped.

Here's a question, why does the detail below mention choke size when selling trumpets? etc. Sorry I don't understand. Malossi 45mm Trumpet - PHF mal-45-phf Malossi These are genuine Malossi 45mm long, screw on style trumpets for Dellorto PHF carbs. These are spun aluminum velocity stacks with screen...

Found rear carby had 130 jet in it? Idle was fine only blows excessive fuel when revved. At night with bright lights in the shed you can see these clearly. Hard accelation is good, just coughs when backing off, not a backfire. Also when started and trying to warm it up and using a little of throttle...

Put old exhaust mufflers on still doing it (coughing) and running rich. Pulled front carby off and found main jet is 135 not 122. So I gather this is my problem?
Will put a order through for some more gear soon, Steve.

Hi Have just put on conti exhaust form the original one, on my 860GT. Now I have adjust carbs at idle to suit. However the front cylinder carby coughs slightly (every now and than-not excessively) when backing off the throttle? The front cylinder seems to run rich even with the old exhaust on? Shoul...

Hi Everyone I'm from Australia. Have purchased 6 weeks ago a 1975 Ducati 860GT. Has come to from the USA via Brisbane. Slowly getting it ready for rego. Having Govt red tape issue's. As the bike is stamped with the year of import to the USA 1977 not the manufacture date 1975. The Victorian Vic road ...
