not collecting until sunday but went to see it last night and should clean up very well,managed to start it but it was spilling fuel of one of the carbs so i think a float may be stuck,i will try and post pictures next week.
Well I thought I had a deal on one earlier this summer and was compiling some research. Deal on hold due to paperwork issues. I found this blog extremely helpful and encouraging.
Benelli 2C Restoration
Theres a few pages there flick through them. Where are you located?
yes, i have had a look at this and found it very interesting, luckily mine does not need restoring just a good clean and some fresh fluids as it has just over a 1000 miles on the clock.
yes very interesting,can not wait for sunday now to collect it and get started,sorry forgot to say i am in coventry,
hi sketch congrats, nice buy, re oils, gearbox 20/50 is fine,premix 25/1 should be fine with synthetic you should be ok at 30/1, although a mechanic i know doesnt recommend synth for older engines !
