I have just got my typhoon engine back for my lambretta from Pete at TDR who did my 55mm crank along with porting and case matching and at the time i asked him about what he recommended for stator ie ac or wc..now i had a wc fitted WHEN the bike was a twin :cry: !!but pete suggested i go with an ac one..So I bought one along with flywheel and cdi but now after reading a few posts is it worth me putting it back to a wc stator/flywheel??.. Am i gunna make it unreliable as i thought more advance ...more heat !!..does anyone one run a ac sr or typh with a kit and a wc setup ???
quite a few people on here have used wc cooled flywheels, stators and cdi's i think its because the timings are better i know minor had a interesting post about this you would have to search for it tho im sure that would help alot
Had a quick search but see much but it's always nice to here it from the horses mouth so to speak ie people running air cooled scoots with water cooled ignition !!!
Seriously search. It's been covered a hell of a lot of times and recently too. And that's coming from someone who runs a lc stator/flywheel on his ac bike.
I read in a piaggio tech bulletin the factory Runner CDI module has got two non progressive ignition advances, 9 deg @ 1500rpm & 22 deg at 7500rpm. Apparently the aircooled engine CDI is locked at 19 deg. Does that mean the LC engine revs higher and goes harder than the AC? I hooked up a tachometer to me (factory spec) skipper 150 AC and it was not going higher than 6000rpm I did a search on the board and someone mention you can put the LC CDI module into an AC engine - would that make the AC engine rev higher or just melt it? i think that is the post mate i copied and pasted it, here is the full topic http://www.scootershack.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=21002
