New flywheel & stator wiring

[fredperrybruce]

Hi guys,, been a while so all is good with the rebuild.

Anyway just brought a second hand Piaggio flywheel and matching stator from ebay as mines seen much better days and have just noticed from the pics the wiring is slightly different??

On the one I have now there's spade connections for 2 of the wire's (blue + black) but the one I have just brought there's a piece of plastic covering the 2 wires.

So do I just wip the plastic off and change the connections over to spades?? Is it that easy??

Also AS I brought the items on the spare of the moment without really thinking are they compatible with my engine Mk1 px non electric start & yes the flywheel has a cog which needs removing

Cheers guys

yep,its that easy ,just snip-snip ,crimp-crimp, an jobs a good un , tho i like to solder all my connections ,an the flywheel will fit your crank taper ,all px's are the same taper , tho i'm not sure if you'll have to trim back the bottom fin on barrel coz its a lectric start fly ,with out the gear ring i think it will fit .H

Cheers H for the reply,, I was a little worried I brought something I shouldn't have!! Are the spade connections a 6.3mm in size (male)??

sounds bout right ,but i'm not sure , H

Theyre pretty much all 'standard' 6.3mm spade size. It depends on the wire the size of the wire.
Blue ones are for thicker wire than red ones.
I use blue. Red will probably fit your stator wires too, i cant recall now! Doh!

on a piaggio red will fit ,just, lml's have slightly thicker/heavier wires an need blues , H

[vespasco]

I thought they migjt H
I made my own loom with slightly thicker wire and
I need blues.




(No not that kind)!

same here , always thought vespa wirings a bit thin , can be a trouble running the loom thru frame/headstock tho, an i never get the "blues" listen to a lot of it tho, H
