Trouble starting hot?

Yeah .. this



Yeah - sounds like it's too rich ...



yeah .. holding the throttle open leans out the mixture ... it's too rich

Funny you should mention this. Just happened to do a cold call on a customer that works on old bikes for a living, and he reckons that my stumbling/missing at high revs sounds like too rich on the main jet. All my jetting has been to fix the starting issues, but I haven't replaced the pilot jet so its a bit odd really, but come to think of it it used to rev ok.

Will have to spend some time doing jetting runs once I get a new key made up for the flywheel.

Okay, the Benelli is running like a dream, not sure what fixed it, but I rejetted it leaner and fitted a whole new (nos) generator and points that I found in Germany. Its a bit loud but goes real well.

Question regarding brake lights.. Do I need one for the front brake and if so where do they go? Rear is easy, but I heard somewhere that only the rear is required on bikes of this age.
