Re: LIS150 ignition circuit needed please

thanks Chris but there is a little more as I have finally stirred my one brain cell into action. :lol: Green from stator feeds the coil and the kill switch which is position 0 or off on the ignition switch.

Re: Fuel.

basher hope you'll excuse the hyjack but my question is sort of related and the answers could be useful to others finding this thread. How does everyone fill up their tanks at the forecourt and ensure they get the right amount of oil in ? Do you carry a small can of semi synth oil to put into the ta...

Re: Which 12v Stator plate ? 64 LIS150

If you do decide to put an indian electronic stator on it you wont go wrong if you change the pick up and ignition coil to the vespa ones. The indian ones are known to fail often. No idea if the ones linked to are actually vespa ones mind you :? just did a quick search. thanks for the links Eden. ;...

exhaust advice sought for LIS150

Excuse me if I am asking the obvious . I have read lots of interesting articles about 2x stoke exhaust, expansion and silencing in the past week and I still haven't really found the information I need. Most of it seems to be directed at high performance and racing . I have a standard original LiS150...

Re: Which 12v Stator plate ? 64 LIS150

thank you Adam for such a detailed and informative reply. I'll hold off on doing anything for the time being until I can run and assess the existing 6v system.

Re: Which 12v Stator plate ? 64 LIS150

you're quite right Adam but I don't know enough about magnetos yet so I need to do a bit of reading so that I understand the topic better and can ask some sensible questions lol :roll: I saw a couple of 12v Stators going really cheap and so I thought I'd bid on one and see if I could use the coils t...

Re: Which 12v Stator plate ? 64 LIS150
