Modern Vespa

Looking at the wireing disagrom of the stator for a 1964 p9o. Can't I just tie the two lighting coils together in serise to make 12v ot the lights? I see that the helght coil and the spark share the ground, but I soul be able to eaily chage that too, no?

I am assuming that the woring can also handle the 12voths, Did they use a gauge wire that is so small it cnanot handle 12volts? and what? Max 6 to 8 amps?

the just put 12v lightsinit..

I meanI could at a battery and have the staor charge that, but why not just keep is simple?

It is a super simple stator.

I suppose I could just change the coils out.. But again... why not jut rewire the coils?

Prech to me oh wise ones.

And, no I cannot spell. lol.

and I would have to deal with the capasiotr, no?

lol... after a little thought... they are out of phase are't they?

Wait.. doe that matter? hmmmmm

I am having fun thinking aobu this while I folding clothes....

Probably you can mimic this, I think the stators are similar.

Converting a 6V stator to 12V

Nice! Yearh, that makes sense.

The whole reason I am even considering this is because finding the 6v bulbs quickly is anyoning.

I will order up the righ bulbs and wait.

Then maybe I will just wind my own coil and set it up that way. I will have to get out the mutimeter and mess around.

Or, order up a coil and replce the one I need Too...

Or be lazy and just order the whole kit.

If you have a no battery system, hook up 6 volt regulators. If I'm looking at scooterHelp correctly, you don't have a factory regulator. It's supposed to be a load balanced system.

Yeah, it is the old 6v three coil system, no regulator. The bulbs regulate. But if ANYTHING is off, it becomes a blub eater. IT could be anything really, coils breaking down, bad wires, bad gournds, WRONG 24V BULB IN THE PILOT! lmao; etc. I went out today and putted all the bulbs and found a 24V blown blub in the pilot light spot. That tells me whoever had this before was monkeying around. If I am not mistaken if that pilot bulbs blows it cuases the ten watt upper in the back to blow... I think it has someohting to do with what translates back through the grounding structure, because they are run off two differnt coils but all grounds are tied together through the bike (I could be wrong). Any way, I am off to the races . So If I am gonna mess with it, I am going to start at the stator, with a multimeter and check eveything, and I mean everything; All connections, gournds, resistances. It really should not take more thatn an hour or two to go through it and see what I see. I mean, I will find alot I am sure. This thing sat on my proetty of 12 years... (abandoned). I went and pulled title records and came bakc not tilted in my state, so I was able to get a court order for salvage title and have 60 days to ride it down to the shierffs inspection location to confirm it is nto stolen and road worthy, then I can take that to the court and they will give me the title. So I need everything to work and fast, so I am not riding it down in the SNOW! lmao.. SO I fear I am going to order all the correct blubs and then put them in and they start blowing agian and not pass inspection. SO I gotta check everything.

Side note, I put some mineral oil in the cyclindar, let it sit over night, then added 2%, then sprayed some carb cleaner in the carb and she kicked right over... two or three kicks... which is efing crazy for it stiing for 12 years. Runs sweet as hell. Took it for a couple laps on the property.... All she needs is a bath and blubs baby! Well and a complete elctrical check.

So who knows how long this thing has had no love. But I am gonna make sweet sweet scooter love to it.. and make it right as the vespa gods intended.

Thank for all your input... I will let yall know how she turns out in a week or two.
