I suspect you just rode it faster................ as you could finally see where you were going at night!!!!! But seriously, your spark on a 12v system was probably a lot better too. |

I'm pretty sure that a PK stator and flywheel will go straight on. That's a 12v conversion.
I'll check and get back to you.

Just had a quick chat with a lad who's more than a little bit of a small frame guru, he says buy a Vespatronic kit, the rest is fairly straight forward.

I can understand why, and it would make sense to me, but the small frame freak reckons that the only other modification MAY be that you need to change the type of brake pedal switch (though there is a bodge for that).
Try it, and if the loom catches fire I'll send you my mates address.....
