  • a viewer sent me a note about some machines he was getting rid of. and this was one of them, he picked it up none running and sat in his basement for a long time, this Benelli Andretti version m50 scooter only has 500 miles on it when it quit running. lets see what we find while trying to fix it.

    man, that takes me back. you're the first person to call channel lock pliers, water pump pliers that i've heard since my grampa died in '05. he always called them that, and he had just about every size of them there was, from tiny ones that might have been 1/2" fully open, to a pair that had handles that were over 2' long, and would grip a 3" pipe with ease. he even had a pair that had "parrot beak" jaws that were specifically for gripping pipes. i still have most of them, my cousin got the rest. you know, benelli sounds italian, but i'll bet the closest this thing ever got to italy was the pizza joint that i'm sure the previous owner rode past, since every town has at least one pizza joint somewhere. the benelli company i'm familiar with makes really good shotguns. scooters, not so much. well, no matter what, the price was right. it's hard to find fault with a deal where the machine was free.

    One very important lesson i learnt from my engineering days when diagnosing problems is that if the job has been worked on by somebody else to always and I mean always double check their work because most often than not you will find the person before you has done something wrong which is why the thing being worked on is still faulty. Many many times I have come to a job where the person before me has installed something wrong and 98% of the time it relates to wiring.

    Hey, Mustie, you got the Choke operation backwards. When you put power to the choke coil, it extendes-goes outwards 2-4 mm to close the "extra" fuel hole in the carb. When extended it closes the hole that gives extra fuel. Takes about 2-3 minutes to extend all the way. Measure it with a caliper before (when its cold) and after 3-4 minutes.

    • @kargo27
      @kargo27 Před 2 lety +1

      YES! I had a Yamati just like this and I believe the enricher was the issue with mine. The fix I would use when I hadn't run it in a while was to drain the carb bowl, then use the kickstarter to pull/release vacuum to the fuel valve to allow fresh fuel in, and then when it started, lean the scooter down on the left hand side and roll the throttle back and for for a bit. It would sputter for several seconds and then would run fine. If I didn't do that and started riding it right away after starting it, the throttle would bog down and it'd die like it was starving for fuel. But once it was warmed up and running I could stop it and start it up again with no issues. If I let it sit for a week without being run, I'd have to go through the same starting/leaning steps again.

    This was absolutely fascinating. I've watched a number of your videos before and wondered while watching this if you were going to give up. But I've seen enough of your videos to know that you're not a give-up type of guy! So I've wondered... if the original owner watched this video and at some point said to himself, I wonder if maybe I got those wires crossed?? Geez, nobody would have started there... can' you image the trouble you would have saved yourself, not to mention the HOURS!! You've got a great subscriber base, so this sort of long-form video probably is good for you--it certainly had me watching the whole thing!!! Congrats on the fix!

    Benelli were quality motorcycles from Italy, founded somewhere between 1911-1921. They didn't fare as well over the years as Ducati or MV Agusta, unfortunately. This was one of the scooters produced in China after Benelli was acquired in 2005 by Qianjang or whatever they are called. Have fun finding parts! Thanks for all your videos, been great hanging out in the garage with you.

      When it's no start, it's always some stupid screw-up by the previous owner... or the engine blew up by being abused.
      I literally just came from work and the supervisors were working on a no signal from the motor. I was thinking, I guarantee it's a bad wire. Two hours later we opened up the plate to find the motherboard had a cable mashed up by their shop. Two bad pins on a flex cable.

      It looked to me like the float level was too high, and lowering the float level should have a similar effect as lowering the float needle, which helped, but not enough. The excess oil also seemed awfully persistent to be just in the crankcase, which makes me think the oil pump may be out of adjustment or defectively pumping too much oil.

    hey mustie the expansion chamber before the muffler is part of the intake in a 2 stroke. venturi effect and pressure differentials caused by the expansion chamber increase the exhaust scavenging which in turn controls the intake charge....exhaust leak before the expansion chamber will affect how much exhaust is pulled from the cylinder which in turn affects how much air fuel mix gets drawn into crankcase. i dont know that that is the only issue happening here but it can explain the idle/accelerate issue. thanks for the videos

      its uh, not a venturi effect, its pressure waves. the pressure puls from the engine reflecting off the back of the chamber and cramming wasted unburnt fuel back into the cylinder before the exhaust port is closed during a certain band of the rpm range. but close enough.

    I had a problem with an overflowing carb of similar design on a motorbike.
    After checking the float, making numerous adjustments to float height, and checking float valve and seat repeatedly, I finally found the issue. It was a crack in the brass overflow pipe.
    I discovered this by clamping the float bowl in a vise (using some wood to provide cushioning), filling the bowl with petrol, putting my finger over the end of the brass pipe, and blowing through the overflow tube - I could see bubbles coming out of the brass pipe about half-way up.
    I solved it by using Araldite to glue a slightly larger ID brass pipe over the original, which I didn't want to risk trying to remove. No leaks since, and I make sure to drain the bowl after use and turn the petrol off at the fuel tap.

    • @macswinford3315

      Small motor gas line slipped over the brass overflow pipe also works to seal the crack. Crack comes from water in the bowl freezing and splitting the brass pipe.
