@keeponwrenching thank you. I am honored. I watched every video on your channel and gained a lot of knowledge and Inspiration.

Thanks for your support. Good point about he wiring. In my case I will have to make a wiring harness myself and wit ha 12V system, the circuits will change a lot, and probably will not be using the same switches (will make it simpler), so hopefully these will get mitigated to some extent, fingers crossed. The transmission issues seem to be a problem in general with bikes from that era, I was hoping not to have to redo the engine and just freshen up the bike and complete it before moving on to the next project, but lets see.

@@topdeadcentre Good luck, it was a neat and beautiful bike. To bad Benelli put out such a poor product.

thank you for your support. Yes a modern carby will help. Someone else suggested a PHBH30, I was also considering Amal. Once the project gets further, will review and get back to this again.

Conclusion : do not try to kick start at all, if you care to live :) thank you for watching.

Thanks for the attention to details here. This won't be a full restoration, and I am trying to keep the cost down. I did see that carb in my research, but getting the original was cheaper. My goal will be to refresh the bike and make it mechanically sound, hoping not to have to rebuild the engine as well. But in case plans changed, that will be my go to carby. :)

Thank you so much!! Your support means a lot!

Oh how wonderful. Does yours start? These bikes have such a nice exhaust note.

I did not know that. Thank you for letting me know

would love to see pics/vids. I hope it is a better survivor than mine. If you need help with parts etc, please reach out, I have been researching the past year on this bike and found some great resources.

@@topdeadcentre Nope, the 250 is a total rust bucket but the tanks not bad. Engines locked up and someone put a Kawasaki front end on it and used it for a dirt bike and the crank case is cracked. The Mojave is in pretty good shape kinda. Wheels are rusted and the connecting rod is oval shaped on the wrist pin end. Found a few parts close to me and just ordered some parts Tuesday from Philadelphia, Pa. I hope it legit. It’s on Google and e-bay. If you know of other sources I’d love to know.

@@budlistar5312 if you have ordered from PA, I have a feeling you got the right guy already, but here is his ebay store : www.ebay.com/str/santodimotocicli?_trksid=p4429486.m145687.l149086 Extremely helpful, always ready to accept returns, and goes above and beyond to make your project a success. Listed there right now is a NOS tank, full front end and a headlight assembly for the 250. Looks like if you have the budget you got that you need. Given the condition of the 250 it might be cheaper to get a donor bike. I know someone tryng to sell a 35o with matching engine and frame, but only bill of sale and while the engine isn't ceased, he also has made no attempt to start it. The bike is in otherwise complete condition, and can start for a better platform for a restore project.

Purtroppo non è in vendita. È in fase di restauro completo per il suo proprietario ed è molto amata dal gentiluomo che la possiede.

@@topdeadcentre Grazie per la risposta e fa bene il proprietario a tenersela, ne ho anch'io una del Sett. 1968 restaurata da me, nel 2008 e tutt'ora ho percorso 19.000 km se fatta bene va che é un piacere non entro nei dettagli, é lunga. Auguri al proprietario. Buona giornata.

@@eliodesiderio7135 Non parlo italiano, quindi perdonate i miei errori. Mi piacerebbero i dettagli della tua moto, anche le foto. Il proprietario di questa moto è un esperto meccanico e restauratore. Sono il suo apprendista e questo è il mio primo restauro. Ai tempi, quando il proprietario, il mio mentore, era un ragazzino, una Gilera fu la prima motocicletta che riparò e guidò. Quindi ora vuole possederne di nuovo uno, restaurarlo e conservarlo come ricordo. Sono fortunato che mi abbia permesso di aiutare e imparare nel processo.
