Mirrors have to go

I’ve been looking for one of these for a very long time (sometimes not trying very hard). This one popped up and I foolishly bough it. It it quite nice, needs a few things but most already done. Since I have too many projects now anyway- that is sort of nice. 69 Wildfire- not much over 200lbs pretty...

just gave it a test- still sooting up the plugs quite a bit.
I'm not sure why yet, float level was pretty close and original jetting.

But I just discovered the ones someone put in were a bit colder than original. So I'm getting some hotter plugs and perhaps that will solve most of it.

Did you solve the fouled plug issue? I have been out of town and just got back. So I have not tested yet.  I should have it all back together and ready to test today. After some reading- I have heard of other bikes that were also rich with stock settings. The needle drop will certainly lean out a b...

But the plugs also are very black and tend to foul. So I popped the carbs off- cleaned out bowls (just a little bit of stuff in there, prett...

Very satisfying to finish a project like this.

Another break-in ride today.

Two darn cool bikes!

Need to line up all the Benelli 250s (too bad I don’t still have the 250 ‘egg’)

Comso only brought 8 of them into the country. There have been a few more around direct imported much later. You will see another around before long- but I won’t spill the beans. One of their 60s 250 or 350 road racers would be super cool. But since they were factory only bikes- cost would be incred...

I changed oil (very well original- and while base oil is still good, additives can go bad)- installed a new agm battery and it is running great.
