Benelli models with G2, G2K engines 1970-80
49 cc horizontal cylinder 1-speed, automatic clutch.
G2 engine: (Gentlemen Due 49cc) is on US models 1977-80 Benelli G2, 1976-77 Benelli Blazer, 1978-80 Moto Guzzi, and 1977-80 Moto Guzzi Robin and UK models 1974-80? G2. The G2 engine is the second generation of the late 60’s GM engine, a 25mph horizontal cylinder one-speed automatic, with a Dellorto 9mm sipping straw. Like the GM, the G2 engine does not have built-in pedals. The external pedal system is unusual with both pedal and motor chains on the left side. Most bicycle chains are on the right side, so a special reverse or “left hand” freewheel is required.
G2K engine: (Gentlemen Due Kick 49cc) is on 1970-76 Gentleman, UK models 1974-80? Motorella, 1978-80? G2 KS and G2 Elle. Eliminating the pedals and pedal chain simplified the frame design, and allowed the rear wheel to have a single sprocket and bigger wheel bearings (since they did not have to pass through the inside of a freewheel).
Here is a English language 1978 Benelli Service Manual (UK models 50-125cc) a PDF download for the mopeds below and others. Euro models have a Dansi 101662 magneto. Euro models with brake light have Dansi 101813. US models (all with brake light) have Dansi 101441 or 101813.

Benelli Blazer-US: The USA version of the Bobo had the same parts catalog B1 to B4, except for the last page B5 that showed all of the changes. The controls (and start cable) changed from Domino to PV. A Veglia speedometer, cable and driver were added. The CEV 2139 “bullet” headlight was round, bigger, brighter and required more watts. The CEV 9350 tail light also was bigger, brighter and required more watts. The 6V 21/5W #1154 bulb had a brake light and the lens had side reflectors. The switches were CEV round chrome clamp-on type, with English language labels. Right thumb operates engine stop. Left thumb operates lights and horn. The Blazer magneto generated more watts.
