Front/horizontal plug becomes badly fuel fouled. I have of course have replaced it multiple times during this process to ensure clean spark. I do get spark to the front cylinder. I have since somewhat isolated the forward cylinder and gotten it to fire, albeit intermittently and using spray. I am tu...

Thought I was finally going to get my new-to-me 1988 Paso running and road-ready, but it's giving me some fits, running only on the vertical cylinder. Engine has 7,026 miles on it, was last on the road approx. 2003. In addition to changing all fluids and belts I just rebuilt the original Weber carb ...

Interesting. My original paint white '88 supposed Limited (it does not have the "Limited" sticker) has 35mm OD exhaust headers. No dimple. So the story supposedly goes that all the white models were Limiteds, but perhaps the real truth is that only a handful of the white ones were truly Li...

Would also like to know the full story about the whole "Limited" thing. For one thing, it doesn't appear Ducati put the Limited decal on all Limited models sold in the U.S., a point noted by Ducati historian Ian Falloon. My white '88 is supposedly a "Limited," but it doesn't have...

My bad. Red Fox. They were easy to work with, think it took a week tops to get my parts from there (Belgium) to here (US of A). Looks like they've got one yet, 50 euro, which is what I paid for mine.

Must have ordered mine too early. Got 'em about 3 months ago, date code 31st week of 2019, so July, now almost 2 years old.

Thanks for the link, useful information.

Well, my adventure into Weberdom just got a little interesting. Ordered up everything I need to rejet/reset, all arrived, oh boy, time to start work. Then discovered whomever last worked on the Weber screwed the fuel/air mixture screws in so friggin tight they actually started to blow out the inside...

Mike, mine is also 34mm. It'll be a bit before i get around to all of it, but I plan to copy your settings and see how it works. I have different emulsion tubes than you, F36 vs. F44. But as I need new emulsion tubes I'm leaning toward using the F44s that apparently work well on your bike. Will be i...

Haven't yet as I've yet to remove the auxiliary venturis, but will report back when I do. Will be curious to see what size it actually is.

I think you're exactly correct. It sounds as if there was/is a forming tool matching the cone shape of the jet used to assure proper seating. Interesting. I wonder how one confirms proper seating without it? Maybe a little Prussian blue dye and push the tube with jet into place and see if there's fu...

Thanks for the tip. Stripping the Weber down shows - no surprise - that someone's been in it before. A small section is broken out of one of the auxiliary venturis at the top. Further, one of the emulsion tubes is broken at the top where the air jet fits over it, and both main jets show marks from, ...

Did you have any trouble removing the auxiliary venturi? The Weber manual says to carefully file away any staking marks before removal, but I don't quite see how that's done as they're small and hard to reach. It seems a heat gun might help?

Thanks for posting the info. I read Romus and Higgy's writeup and using the tall 4.5 venturi, interesting that you've apparently had good success using the "standard" 4.5, which is readily available, whereas the tall 4.5 is not, at least near as I can find. I'd really like to see if I can ...

Local bearing house is usually pretty on top of things, but yeah ...
FAG bearings found on fleabay arrived and are like new and correct. And a fraction of the price of any of the normal channels.
