This weekend I thought I’d dig out my oily rag Stornello Scrambler because I was at an event yesterday and thought it’d be good take it with me. It’s been in storage and mostly inaccessible since I last used it regularly back in 2006.
Amazingly, the 6 volt battery seemed ok too, I expected it to be dead. Topped it up, and trickle charged it over night. Cleaned and blew carb through, checked jets were clear. Cleaned plug. Checked oil. Added a tiny bit of fresh fuel. Connected battery, choke on - starts first kick. Amazing. So simple and robust. Ended up riding it around the field at the event yesterday for the first time in six years - aren’t Guzzis great?
