Hello peeps, figuring out my electronic ignition system from the distance, I would like to know if any of you Vega users have the electronic conversion fitted and what CDI and regulator do you use. Also, what type of bulbs can I use with this setup? ......... Anyone? Thackers?

Regards,

Jaime

std vespa cdi and regulator mate , use std 12v bulbs .

I use a Ducati CDI and a Varitronic regulator both mounted inside rear frame.H4 headlight conversion and LED rear bulb.Original 6v horn.

Jamie, i tried to follow Wack 63 with the Variotronic regulator to save on room inside the rear frame above the mudguard. It is a good idea but i had trouble with my regulator and went for the standard size one with a regular c.d.i mounted onto a plate, and fixed through the rear frame badge holes. It's a tight squeeze especially with the mudguard protruding into the frame. I used standard 12v bulbs front and rear and they are now very good, the back light was poor to say the least the local plod pulled me twice for it. I kept the standard horn which works fine, better than my other series 3 bikes with 12v Good luck

Hi Dave ,I had to slightly dent the mudguard to clear the CDI but can't be seen once fitted.How did you get on with the flywheel? was it ok.

Hey boys, you rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited after 4 years of wait!!!


P.S: I know it is nothing time wise compared to Ian Hepworth's 17 year Winter restoration....

I forgot to say, I like your idea about the varitronic... However I worry I wont be able to mount it hidden like that... It would be great looking tho!!

Lloyd!!! forgive me, did i not get back to you on this? It was bang on thank-you It seems ages ago that i was on with my 12v conversion, i didn't find it particulaly easy i must admit i'm no electrical wizard (not much else i'm a wizard at too )i had the stator in and out thinking i'd wired it up wrong i even had it to a dealers, he said i had a dry joint but it turned out to be a dodgy pick up box then fun and games with regulators and blowing bulbs, but i got there in the end.
My latest works with the vega is a reed valve, i have a barrel and reed block i'm just looking for a cyl head and piston then it's off to Mick Abbey for the rest of the work.
Jamie let me know if you need any details on the jetting i have after the dyno or any barrel tuning info i have from when Mick tuned my current top end.
We Vega boys need to stick together :ninja: :ninja:
