| | New Lighting System for HT Motors I found this today on Ebay. It bolts in under the generator cover to the rear of the generator. So it's independent of the bikes normal electrical system. I really think this maybe the extra electrical generation for lighting alot of ppl have been looking for. The second link show some extra stuff including a ac to dc converter for it to charge "on the bike" battery packs. This really opens up alot of possiblities.

Could somebody who knows more than I about the generator electrical output comment on this? If you look at the pic this thing is just a extra coil taking advantage of the existing generator frame. Would this boost the primary coil output or have no effect on the primary?

| | Re: New Lighting System for HT Motors This what I like about this hobby... Every person brings something different to the table!
It looks like he makes 'em in his garage... cool!
I'm still waiting for someone like him to figure out how to beef up the ignition system! |

| | Re: New Lighting System for HT Motors I know that one guy was able to use a 2 wire CDI from a small yamaha to run his bike with no other modification. It was plug and play. Problem is to buy one they are $50 he had one laying in his garage. I think about any 2 wire motorcycle CDI might work. Venice have you ever tried using a offset key to adjust the magnet timing? I think you'd get more boost from that. A engine with this small of a combustion chamber wouldn't get a huge boost from alot more spark unless the original spark was very weak.

| | Re: New Lighting System for HT Motors Does anyone remember the little generator that ran off the tire used for lights? Don't remember any problems with those. That was maybe 40, 45 yrs. back now, last I saw. |

| | Re: New Lighting System for HT Motors Junster,
You might have found the Holy Grail. A couple of us were discussing a very smiliar concept several months ago. The idea of making a second coil that would use the magneto rotor (magnet) to produce a seperate power source. This guy must have overheard our conversation. 
Seriously, this could be the answer everyone has been searching for. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Tom

I was thinking of filing the slot on the magnet & advancing it that way.
I know if you advance the timing on Harleys & old VolksWagens, you get a ton of power from them! (but you have to be very careful because it makes them run hotter!)

| | Re: New Lighting System for HT Motors These guys sell offset keys or you can make one with a file and a little patience from a thick key. If you make the keyway bigger you take a chance on it adjusting itself while your riding. Go-Ped, Baja 5b, Scooter, Jet Ski, PWC, CRF50, KLX110, Pocketbike, Goped Parts by ADA Racing
Thanks 2-Door I really think that extra coil will be the shizz for getting solid lighting output and a simple clean install too.

| | Re: New Lighting System for HT Motors now with the new leds light out there you can run them off the existing magneto.
with no problems with heat or cdi. just came back from a long ride with lights all the way.
no batteries  im using the black and white wire.....
im sure someone has covered this on another thread  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
