QUALITY VAPE
VAPE ignition is a modern ignition system including alternator. Completely made in Europe (Czech Republic) from high quality materials, every single ignition is 100% function tested. The resulting reliability is legendary, making it ideal even for performance engines. VAPE ignitions are already firmly established for decades in the moped / motorcycle sector and especially in the Simson range can no longer be imagined without.
CONVERSION CONTACT IGNITION
The VAPE replaces the complete contact ignition to 100% and brings at the same time a modern and powerful 12Volt alternator. The strong permanent magnets of the one-piece pole wheel allow a high ignition current even at low engine speeds as well as a bright light at idle. The engine thus starts much better, as the high ignition current also easily compensates for increased resistance (e.g. an oily spark plug or too much gasoline in the crankcase). The significantly higher light output, even at low speeds, gives an additional thick safety plus in road traffic. In addition, the ignition is forever maintenance-free. Never again adjust contacts, never again replace a capacitor. Simply drive, then when you want.
UPGRADE V50/PK
We recommend our VAPE ignition also quite specifically for the conversion of older Vespa models which still had a contact ignition from the factory. These are the Vespa Smallframe models all vehicles from 1966: V50, 50 Special, PV (Primavera), SS50, SR50, 50 Sprinter, V90, SS90, 90 Racer and the corresponding Motovespa Smallframe models. In addition to the contact ignition, these engines have a crankshaft with a small alternator cone (recognizable by the shaft sealing ring with Ø19mm as well as the pole wheel nut with M10 thread). This is at a larger engine tuning (133cc and more) quickly overwhelmed with the high weight of the standard Piaggio pole wheel. A conversion to the VAPE ignition with its much lighter pole wheel (approx. 1400 grams) not only make the engine much more agile, the crankshaft is also significantly relieved. If you want to go one step further in the direction of reliability, use directly the crankshaft of the PK XL models with a Ø20mm crankshaft stub. This is much more stable and represents, together with our VAPE ignition, the 'royal road' in a conversion. Who has already made such a conversion on his V50/PV simply uses the VAPE set for the PK engines. Here the pole wheel is then directly suitable for the stronger dimensioned crankshaft of the PK, the rest of the components are identical. The conversion to a VAPE brings in particular with the older vehicle massively more light output and it can be used without problems also strong 60/55 watt halogen bulbs or alternatively chargers for cell phone and Co. Likewise, the flywheel including pole wheel is lighter and perfectly balanced. An important factor in the field of engine tuning.
WIRINGHUMB
Formerly contact-controlled ignitions should be converted to a new wiring harness for various reasons. In most cases, the old wiring harness is already deteriorated and has increased resistance due to corroded copper wires. In addition, the original wiring harness on older vehicles (with formerly self-regulating electrics) is not suitable for a voltage supply via a central cable. Of course, we carry suitable conversion wiring harnesses in our store. These are also very easy to connect and perfectly complement the conversion to a new electrical system.
AC/DC?
All Vespa alternators are designed ex works for a so-called AC (alternating current) power supply. As soon as the engine is running, current is generated and directly transmitted to the consumers (lamps). Our VAPE ignition is also delivered as AC system. However, it can be converted to a so-called DC (direct current) system by simply replacing the voltage regulator (the stator is 'floating' and only becomes DC or AC by wiring). In this case, all the current from the alternator is fed to a battery via a so-called full-wave regulator. This supplies all consumers (lamps, horn, turn signals etc.). The advantage is that a power supply is available even without the engine running.
IGNITION ADJUSTMENT?
The VAPE ignition is supplied by us with a CDI with so-called static ignition timing. In contrast to four-stroke engines, two-stroke engines do not require dynamic adjustment due to the gas dynamic effects in the combustion chamber. The required ignition angle remains almost linear, despite increasing engine speed, due to the mixture burning through faster and faster. Only absolute racing engines, whose usable speed range only begins above 6000 rpm, may benefit from an adjustment. For almost all scooter engines operated on the road, however, a dynamic ignition timing is rather disadvantageous. The high ignition angle in the lower range makes the engine run rough and out of round, the ignition angle decreasing with increasing engine speed is often rather performance reducing. For these reasons we use a CDI with static ignition timing. This harmonizes perfectly with series engines as well as strongly performance-increased engines. Our VAPE ignition can of course be equipped with a dynamically adjusting CDI.
MOUNTING / IGNITION SETTING
A great feature of our VAPE ignition is the fact that it is set without the so-called 'flash off', so without strobe light. The VAPE conversion ignition system is therefore easy to install and can be mounted without special tools. The installation is therefore no problem at all, even for technically experienced laymen, thanks to our supplied installation instructions (in printed form).
PoleWheel/Fan Wheel
The VAPE ignition always has the same pole wheel (starting from the respective cone matched to the engine, including installation height). It has, as in the original, only one groove for positioning on the crankshaft. A wrong assembly is therefore impossible. The flywheel mass matching the engine concept is produced via the impeller. This has the advantage that the flywheel mass can only be changed by exchanging the impeller. The impeller we deliver is CNC machined from solid aluminum. It fits perfectly to the respective engine type and has an optimized wing geometry. This guarantees the maximum cooling capacity with the best performance. Pole wheel and impeller are meticulously balanced.
