Hi people! just bought my lovely lady a fantic 250 section to have a go with and have a couple of questions i hope someone could answer.

1, The bike is black and orange anyone know what year this is?

2, The four wires coming from the stator plate are green,red,white and yellow. i take it the red and white go to the cdi unit but which port does the green go to and what is the yellow for?

3, How does the silencer fit onto the middle box someone told me it fixes using a rubber spacer is this true?

4, COMPRESSION i can turn the engine over by hand is this right or not?

5, What plug do people use and what mixture?

any other help or advice would be of great help

thanks

It's a section from 1995

according to the manual:

spark plug : NGK BCP7ES distance between electrode 0,7 - 0,8 mm

petrol : 97 Super 2% mix oil Castrol TTS

Silencer : silencer fit onto the middle box with a rubber spacer

Green, red, and white wires go to CDI, terminals may be marked verde, rosso, & bianco, green is the trigger, red & white are power. There should also be a fourth terminal on the CDI (connected internally to the trigger terminal) which you can wire to the kill switch (other side of kill switch to ground). Yellow wire is probably a power feed for lights etc. although this is usually brown or orange.

thanks for the help guys got a new plug and wired the bike up, got a spark great! but the thing will not start. A couple of back fires and a strong smell of petrol, the fuel tap has a slight leak so my thinking is that the crank is flooded any ideas?
