OPTIMAL WEIGHT

The weight of the bgm PRO Vespa pole wheels is tailored to the respective purpose:

  1. The fan wheels for the Vespa Smallframe-Models are with 1600 grams perfect for the lively characteristics of the small engines.
  2. The fan wheels for the Vespa Largeframe-Motors offer with 2300 grams a wonderful mixture of a lot of smoothness and very good acceleration.

Basically, the pole wheels always require a 12V ignition base plate / alternator. This means that every previously contact-controlled motor can be converted to a fully electronic CDI ignition including voltage-controlled on-board electronics. We offer to do this complete sets with all parts required for retrofitting (see alternatives / accessories) for the ignitions:

Vespa ignition retrofit electronic ignition

Vespa Largeframe Conversion to electronic ignition

Vespa engines of the LargeframeModels with rotary valve inlet control, e.g. Vespa VNA, VNB, VBA, VBB, VLA, GT, GTR, Sprint, Rally, PX, LML 2T, Bajaj Chetak can now be easily converted:

Why should I convert a Vespa to electronic ignition?

These are the advantages of an electronic ignition!

After the retrofit, the former weak 6Volt on-board network is available powerful 12 volt light output. The previously self-regulating electrical system is switched to a reliable and bulb-friendly controller control (e.g. with BGM6690) changed. The high-quality cabling ensures that the high light and ignition power With its high wattage, it already provides one when idling very good light outputwhich does not break down even when using the indicators or additional power consumers. No maintenance required! Maintenance work, as is usual with contact ignitions, is not necessary.

bgm PRO ignition base plate

We have our own brand bgm, tried and tested a thousand times bgm PRO ignition base plate revised and even better did. Particular attention was paid to the very high quality of the bobbins and the pickup.
In addition, the cabling was converted to textile-sheathed silicone lines. A special gimmick is the cord already attached to the cable branch for easy pulling of the cable harness through the cable duct in the motor housing. The base plate now also has a degree of precise scaling for easier setting.

Compared to a conventional electronic ignition, the BGM Pro HP V2.5 ignition base plate has specially combined coil windings.
This significantly improves the efficiency of the alternator and offers a high light output of 120W.

In contrast to a Vespa PX ignition base plate, the BGM Pro HP has one longer and differently laid cable branch so that the ignition base plate can also be perfectly mounted on older vehicles. In addition, it has an adapted base plate contour so that it fits perfectly on engines before 1977 (with a larger shaft seal seat than PX).

  • High light output (120W) thanks to the maximum number of windings
  • Proven excitation coil with copper plate for maximum reliability
  • Pickup with a carbon barrier layer for a clean ignition pulse
  • Neatly processed light coils
  • High quality solder joints
  • Original cable lugs and length for easy cabling
  • Can be combined with additional modules (PiFi, Kytronic, Agusto)

NOTE: The BGM Pickup has a nominal resistance of 100 Ohm (+/- 10Ohm)

Silicone lines

ADVANTAGES OF SILICONE LINES

  • Extremely temperature resistant (-40 ° C to + 250 ° C)
  • Always stay flexible
  • Very good mechanical protection through the textile fabric
  • Resistant to fats, oils, alcohols, oxygen, ozone
  • Very high insulating properties

CONVERSION TO ELECTRONIC IGNITION

When converting from a contact ignition to this base plate, another fan wheel, a voltage regulator and a CDI must be used.
A possibly standard old voltage regulator, like the series ignition coil, is no longer required.
With the BGM voltage regulator BGM6690, a battery (12 volt battery required) can optionally be charged while driving. The old wiring harness can still be used, but the previously individual circuits must be combined here, as the voltage regulator only offers one outlet to the complete power supply. It is easier to convert to one of our conversion wiring harnesses (e.g. 9077011).

Everything necessary for this is available individually or as a set.

Suitable for Vespa oldieLargeframe

The BGM ignition stator fits all Vespa engines of the Largeframemodels with rotary valve inlet control, e.g. Vespa VNA, VNB, VBA, VBB, VLA, GT, GTR, Sprint, Rally, PX, LML 2T, Bajaj Chetak.

Conversion set

In addition to the ignition, you also need a few other parts to convert the engine from contact ignition to electronic ignition. We have put together a practical set for you: BGM6661PRO

All parts are also available individually:

 

PLEASE NOTE
The alignment of the crankshaft in the engine housing, and thus also the position of the pole wheel, is the same as the old one Largeframe Engines (recognizable by the same-sized crankshaft bearings with 25x62x12mm) are significantly more variable than, for example, the later PX engines.

The crankshaft bearings are not fixed in the engine housing by a circlip, but simply sit with a slight interference fit in the housing. Various tolerances (e.g. the width of the shaft sealing rings, worn bearing seats, orientation of the cone on the crankshaft) can lead to significant deviations from the originally intended positioning of the shaft in the crankcase. A prerequisite for a correctly working ignition is that the pole wheel is perfectly aligned with the ignition base plate. Otherwise the trigger surface in the pole wheel will not run parallel to the pick-up, which can lead to misfiring. If the ignition does not produce a spark, the fault is usually to be found here. For easy rectification, we offer spacer plates (BGM8000S05) for the pickup on the ignition base plate. This allows the correct distance to be restored in a simple manner.

Digital degree disk -TSR Buzzwangle

Digital degree disc TSR Buzzwangle

Determine ignition timing and steering angle

Set Vespa ignition / Set Lambretta ignition with the digital degree disk -TSR Buzzwangle Ignition and Port Timing Tool- used to digitally measure the ignition point and the control angle on 2-stroke engines (BZZKIT1)

TSR buzzer

The BUZZWANGLE tool is designed to be able to determine both the ignition point and the control angle of a two-stroke engine (e.g. Vespa / Lambretta) in a very simple way. The device measures 360 ° with a resolution of 0,1 degrees. That is ten times more accurate than with a conventional degree disk!

The kit consists of a screw adapter for the most common pole wheel threads. The magnetic buzzer tool is placed on this adapter.

The screw adapter fits the following models:

  • “L” M27x1.25 - suitable for LAMBRETTA Innocenti (models LI, LIS, SX, TV, DL, GP, J, Lui, A, B, C, LC, D and LD) and MZ vehicles
  • “V” M28x1.0 - suitable for almost all Vespa Largeframe and Smallframe Motors with pole wheel thread. Also for Piaggio / Gilera 125-180ccm Maximengines and SIP Vape ignitions.
  • “VT” M27x1.0 - suitable for Vespatronic retrofit ignitions. Can also be used for many classic 2-stroke motorcycles, e.g. Yamaha RZ350, RD350, RD250, RZ250, BANSHEE. Also suitable for GAS GAS motorcycles and Hondas that have a Kokusan ignition.
  • "P" M24x1.0 - suitable for Parmakit retrofit ignitions, also suitable for Aprilia RS125 and 50ccm engines from Kymco, MBK, Peugeot, Honda and Yamaha / MBK (Minarelli)

 

DETERMINE TOP DEAD POINT

To do this, screw the piston stopper into the spark plug thread and turn the piston with the pole wheel against the stop. Now unscrew the adjusting screw of the piston stop until the piston just barely runs against a resistance. Now place the buzzer on the adapter screwed into the pole wheel thread and set it to ”0”. Now turn the pole wheel in the opposite direction until it runs against the stop of the piston stop again. Halve the value displayed by the device and turn the pole wheel again in the other direction until the halved value is reached. That's it: This is the exact top dead center!

How to use Buzzwangle Tool for ignition timing www.buzzwangle.com

SET IGNITION TIMING MARKERS

Once the top dead center has been determined, a corresponding mark is made on the pole wheel and the motor housing. The BUZZWANGLE is now set to ”0” and the number of degrees before top dead center is displayed by turning the pole wheel. Once the desired value has been reached, the final marking for flashing is applied to the motor housing. To do this, simply transfer the previously set marking of the top dead center from the pole wheel to the motor housing. Now this marking can be done with a running engine Strobe flash lamp be checked and, if necessary, the ignition setting corrected until the marking on the pole wheel and the motor housing match.

DETERMINE CONTROL ANGLE

To do this, the BUZZWANGLE is placed on the adapter, the channel to be measured for the piston is blocked with a thin sheet of a feeler gauge and the tool is set to ”0”.
Now turn the crankshaft in the opposite direction until the piston hits the blade of the feeler gauge again. The tool now shows the exact control angle of the measured channel (minus the path blocked by the feeler gauge blade).

ADVANTAGES:

  • High light output thanks to the maximum number of windings
  • Proven excitation coil with copper plate for maximum reliability
  • Pickup with a carbon barrier layer for a clean ignition pulse
  • Neatly processed light coils
  • High quality solder joints
  • Gray and black bougier tube
  • Sufficient cable length for individual cabling
  • Can be combined with additional modules (PiFi, Kytronic, Agusto)

Compared to a conventional electronic ignition, the BGM ignition base plate has specially combined coil windings. This is the The efficiency of the alternator has been significantly improved again.

Available individually or in a set:

————————————————————————————————————————————————-
AC / DC?
The alternators are available as AC and DC versions:

  • AC = alternating current = light via alternator
  • DC = direct current = light via battery

AC
The AC variant is best for converting to a good electronic ignition. In principle, the on-board network is retained as it was designed by Innocenti, albeit best with a fresh wiring harness.

DC
The conversion to DC only makes sense with the simultaneous conversion to a sufficiently dimensioned battery (from 5Ah). Here, the entire luminous flux feeds only the battery via a so-called full wave regulator. This then supplies all consumers. The required full-wave controller is included in the corresponding AC set, please order the battery separately. The advantage lies in the perfect light without flickering, even when idling. The disadvantages are the required battery, the high charging losses in the lower speed range (controller gets very warm) and the necessary modifications to the wiring harness.

OUR TIP:

The DC ignition can also be used as an AC ignition at any time. To do this, connect the red / yellow cable to ground. The yellow cable must then be connected as a live cable to a conventional voltage regulator (e.g. BGM6690).

FOR WHICH ENGINES?
The ignition kits are available for both types of crankshafts in the Lambretta Series 3 models:

  • Small alternator cone: LI, LIS, SX, TV
  • Large alternator cone: GP / DL

Note: The BGM ignition was carefully designed and harmonizes perfectly with all common ignition components, especially with the BGM pole wheel.
So that the BGM ignition always finds optimal conditions, we include spacer plates for the pickup with version 4.0. This means that the base plate can also be combined with pole wheels whose trigger surface height (tear-off surface of the PickUp) is outside the norm (e.g. AF pole wheels) or if the tolerances of the motor housing and / or crankshaft overlap unfavorably.
