Newbie question - stator is connected to..

Hi all,

Sorry for asking such a massive newbie question but I don't have a full loom or any of the wiring to work from on my project engine.

Can someone tell me what is ment to be connected to what for the ignition/charging system for my zip engine.

I have the stator in place, but nothing is connect to it, whats ment to connect to the stator? Does it connect directly to a coil to the spark plug or does it connect to something else etc?

Please can someone let me know whats connected to what so that I know what I need to get in order to get the engine running.

Thanks in advance

 

im not positive but i think the stator has a few wires, including one for the pickup sensor that touches your flywheel, these just connect to the loom. Sorry if this hasnt helped its all i know

 

The stator and the pickup are attached to a single plug which seems to attach to the loom, which I don't have lol I was hoping that it would connect onto an ignition coil so that I could try and start the engine!

 

IIRC its stator to cdi then cdi to plug/rec/loom could easily be wrong tho

 

I know that my Blata ignition system is pretty simple, its just a pickup/coil attached to the spark plug, I guess that due to the scooter having lights and an onboard battery etc its got a charging system as well.

 

if you get no satisfactory answer, as I can't remember, I will strip the side plastic off mine and have a look. Won't be til Monday morning though.

 

Thanks mate, would be rather useful as I can't seem to find any good photos of the OEM setup, I have a feeling it plugs into a loom and then splits off to the CDI and to a voltage regulator for the lights etc will keep searching. Looks like a used loom is about £20-£25 so no massive issue if I need to buy one and then shorten it etc

 

i know one guy done it on gilera ice racing project find it , all you need is cdi and few wires no starters or battery etc

 

Im looking to run an electric water pump off the stator as im converting the air cooled engine to a water cooled engine but not using the mechanical pump, so no charging system but just a 12V source when the engine is running.

 

send me an e-mail addy, as I have a PDF file on the charging system showing the stator wiring out-put destinations, which is just as well as I am snowed under with work this morning.

 

if you building a drag bike in which you will have only a kill-switch why dont you wire your pump to battery and make a manual switch ?? as you are not going to ride it for all day its a race which is like max 1 min long battery should least for even longer ?

 

i would love to have that diagram for the future
mbk3dga@gmail.com if you can , thanks

 

If I ran it off the battery I would need:

Wiring loom to connect to the ignition coil/CDI
Water pump
Battery

If I run it off the OEM loom I would need

Wiring loom to connect to the ignition coil/CDI + 12V pump feed
Water pump

I would be saving weight to not have a battery on the bike as the engine needs the loom to run - my Blata B1 engine just has a CDI straight to the plug and a cut off switch to earth it so no loom, if it was the same on the zip engine I would fit a battery for the pump.

P.S. is this the info that I need:

I was just going to do that, I didn't have the link, just the PDF file. Yes that is the same set of diagrams, as I have.
