Benelli 250 2C

[Lotus54]

I’m working on another one of these for a buddy. I was going to start it before changing the Vape ignition/charging. But left cylinder has no spark. Then I found the flywheel nut loose and flywheel loose. So I think it was parked due to now spark on that side. I suspect the condenser (points tested ok).
So I will change install the Vape and go from there.

Sounds like you are sold on Vape ignitions. I have one on the 370 Pursang but don't have instructions for setting it up. Hadn't thought about a loose flywheel.

Flywheel is located just by taper, but i hve had no issues. Just a bit moe ok to mke ure correct lotcation.

Will be ready for Z1 wiring soon.

Interesting that some other bikes attached these rotors without a key. The Z1R is the same and it causes real problems as the starter clutch bolts to the rotor.
