Re: Benelli 250 SuperSport (egg)

Fired up the 250. At first, it would not start. Then I noticed that after taking plug out to test for spark before trying- I put plug in but forgot the cap! Ha, what a dope. After installing, it fired right up and ran great. I set the timing and took it for spin. It now shifts fantastically, it was ...

Re: WVM BBQ JULY 22

Yes, lots of interesting things to check out.
If I knew Doug was going to have his Aremacchi there, I would have tried to get my 250 ‘egg’ done in time. That would have been fun to have two of the Italian horizontal engine bikes there. Very different approaches.

Thanks John

Re: Benelli 250 SuperSport (egg)

It took about 5 minutes to put the engine in the frame.
Now I need to locktite/tighten all mounting bolts, pop on valve and clutch covers, install chain and carb etc.
Not very long now to see if I did the gearbox repairs right.

Re: Benelli 250 SuperSport (egg)

Clutch, cam gear etc on. Piston, rings, cylinder- on. Sprocket, magento, flywheel- on (final timing to be done. I have the head ready to cut the seat/lap valves. But then I found I did not have a pilot shaft the correct size. It has rather large (for a 250) diameter valve stems. I had some HSS rod- ...

Re: Machining

This does have something to do with motorcycles. I was replacing bearings on somebody’s Beta. I’ve done this before and always looked for spacers, sockets whatever fit ok. It was always a bit of a pain getting everything lined up etc. So preparing for this one I decided to make proper tools. For the...

Re: Benelli 250 SuperSport (egg)

I wanted to replace the locking washers and pins on the shift forks, so I was waiting for them to arrive. I had the 250 2C (2-stroke twin) apart at the same time, I got all the parts for it first, so I put it back together and into the bike. Then other stuff came up so I had not done anything on the...
