Dansi

Armando Dansi and his company made bicycle generators and lights in Varese, Italy, since the 1930’s. 

Dansi magneto generators (power dynamos) were on 1950’s to 1980’s Italian small motorcycles and mopeds, such as Aermacchi, Benelli, Cagiva, Fantic, Italjet, Lambretta, Lem, Malanca, Rizzato, Zannetti, and non-Italian brands such as Flandria, NSU and NVT.

On US-models 1960 to 1990, Dansi magnetos were original on mini-cycles and mopeds with engines by Benelli (Benelli and Moto Guzzi) and Morini (Arciero, Baretta, Benvenuti, Beta, Bianchi, Cimatti, Cosmo, Colt, F. Morini, Fantic, Garelli, Intramotor-Gloria, Indian, Italjet, Italvelo, Italtelai, LEM, Malaguti, Motobecane Sebring, Negrini, NVT, Pacer, Scorpion, Snark, Spisni Lino, Velomec, West Wind).

Five Function Types (for different types of bike wiring)

Type IIInternal ignition ground, Internal spark coil, no brake light.
For countries that do not require a brake light.
This type has a 1-spark-wire ignition coil and a 1-wire lighting coil.

Type IE:  Internal ignition ground, External spark coil, no brake light.
For countries that do not require a brake light.
This type has a 1-wire ignition source coil and a 1-wire lighting coil.

Type IIB:  Internal ignition ground, Internal spark coil, with Brake light.
For countries that require a brake light.
This type has a 1-spark-wire ignition coil and a 2-wire lighting coil.

Type IEB:  Internal ignition ground, External spark coil, with Brake light.
For USA and countries that require a brake light that does not dim the head light.
This type has a 1-wire ignition source coil and a 2-wire lighting coil.
The lights coil has a center tap that powers the brake light.
This makes the lights coil have less windings, making the headlight dimmer.
But the engine never looses spark because of the lights.

Type EEB: External ignition ground, External spark coil, with Brake light.
For USA and countries that require a brake light that does not dim the head light.
This type has a 2-wire ignition source coil and a 1-wire lighting coil.
The green external ground wire powers the brake light.
This allows room for a more powerful lights coil, to give a brighter head light.
But the engine can loose spark if the brake light wires become loose.

Some US moped brands, like Moto Guzzi, used both IEB and EEB types. That created confusion. To make matters worse, many US-model manuals did not explain the brake light wiring, because they were originally written for European models that did not have brake lights. Many of the parts lists have omissions or mistakes, because the equipment (magneto and brake light) was changed late, to meet US laws, after the manuals were translated and printed.

M27 coil: Because the service manuals did not mention the “external ignition ground” troubleshooting procedure, where you ground the green wire to get spark, many people have replaced the coils, both the internal M27 ignition source coil and the external spark coil (transformer), when they did not need them. As a result, the supply of M27 source coils has ran out.  

M44 plate: The M44 stator plate bare (for 101286) and the M44A (for 101765) have different part numbers and different felt wipers, but they do interchange. The M44A has no cut-out for a internal transformer spark coil, and so is a later design. The M44A is made stronger.  

On a moped with a Morini engine, the number on the Dansi flywheel tells 1) what magneto it has, external (101765 or 101732) or internal (101286) ignition ground, 2) what brake light wiring the bike has, series brake light switches (9342 normally closed) in parallel with the light for 101765 or 101732, or parallel brake light switches (9343 normally open) in series with the light for 101286, 3) what CEV 9530 tail light version it has, one with a brake light resistor hidden inside (101765 or 101732), or with no resistor (101286).This matters a lot when troubleshooting a bike that has no spark. Bikes with external ignition ground often loose spark because of a loose brake light wire. On those you always ground (connect to the frame) the green magneto wire first, and then re-check for spark. That way you will know if the problem is external, in the bikes wires and lights, or internal in the magneto, such as dirty points.

Dansi and Bosch source coil comparison

Dansi and Bosch source coils, edge to hole

From this list, besides ∅82 Dansi there are two source coils (in Myrons Mopeds inventory) with 47mm hole spacing: ∅80 Bosch, and ∅79 Motoplat. A Batavus or Trac M56 source coil would “drop right in” and fit perfectly. But the edge is farther from the flywheel magnet. So the spark would not be as strong. It would be OK going fast, but when idling it might loose spark. The spark plug gap could be reduced to compensate.

In the photo, the distance is measured, from edge of the 4.0mm hole to the edge of the steel plates. Dansi is 5.3mm, and Bosch is 3.9mm. You can see the difference is 5.3 – 3.9 = 1.4  The Bosch substitute is 1.4mm farther away from the moving magnets.

The late 1970’s Dansi steel magneto flywheels for Benelli look like the late 1970’s Morini ones, but the rotation is opposite, clockwise and the stator plate is very different. The stator plate has 5 mounting slots, not two, and is larger. Unlike the Morini kinds, the upper coil is lights and lower is ignition. On a 101813 the ignition coil has an external ground, the green wire. It must always be grounded in order to have spark. The green wire powers the brake light. Normally the brake light switches are closed, taking all the electricity from the brake light. Opening either brake light switch causes the brake light to go on, opposite to all normal light switches. Normal light switches close to make the light go on. Think of it like turning off your shower, by turning on the garden hose.

Dansi 101813 on Moto Guzzi Robin

Dansi 101813 on Moto Guzzi Robin (US model)
Note how the case is for the older bigger flywheel.
This has a performance cylinder, intake, exhaust.

 

The Benelli Blazer was the USA version of the Benelli Bobo.

The Moto Guzzi Robin (sheet frame) was the USA version of the Moto Guzzi Chiu.

The Moto Guzzi Robin (monotube frame) was the same as the Benelli G2.

All of these have the same Benelli 0ne speed automatic engine with pedals.

The stator plate has two upper mount screws and one lower. The upper lighting coil is notched for the screw installation. The lower ignition coil is not notched.

 

Dansi 101441 on Moto Guzzi Robin (USA model)

The Moto Guzzi Robin with stamped sheet-metal frame had either a Dansi 101813 external ignition ground magneto, or a Dansi 101441 internal ignition ground magneto. The orange one above with 101813 had normally closed brake light switches connected in series, so the brake light was normally shorted out, until either switch was opened. If the green wire became disconnected, like when the brake light wires were unplugged, the engine would not run. The blue one at left with 101441 had normally open brake light switches connected in parallel, so the brake light did not get power until either switch was closed. If the green wire became disconnect, the engine would still run.
