MOPED ARMY

get new ones is step one.

new quality ones...

to sum up that statement we are basically saying that proper functioning electrical system on a bike are the key to max performance.

this includes:

new quality points

a quality functioning condenser

cleaned up wiring and removed possible shorts

SOLID grounds

proper timing per setup

new and quality plug wire and plug boots.

Just cuz it sparks doesn't mean its good to go. solid well tuned electrical is the key to max performance.

the power is in the points.

maybe it should be "Power in the electrical system"? Guess it doesn't have the same ring.

CDI ftw!

it all starts with the points, the power is in the points, when all else is running correctly even a slight adjustment to the points will yield amazing results on any kitted setup.

cdi only wins if ur know how to set it up and how to tune, tuning points systems will make tuning cdi a breeze, otherwise u might be jacking urself from max power since it seems to run well even if its not optimally tuned.

fuck around with them. eyeball it. open em. close em.

BTW, when graham and i were riding to southamerica, we would spend countless hours tuning our mopeds to no avail. we then discovered that we needed to set our gap and timing before tuning and we had amazing results.

thus the tern was coined by g and lee: power is in da points.

Yes if you advance ignition, you get the BOOOOOOOOM when it really counts

honestly mint condition or good condition nos or original puch points are the best, the ones you can buy at moped shops are hit or miss really, most shops get different brands from thier distributors every other order so there is no telling what ur gonna get when u order "puch points"

I have heard there are some bosh brand points for puch that are available on ebay and they come in thier own special box, i don't know if any of the shops carry them tho.

i kinda think im firing too soon, what would be an indicator of that?

mine runs nice at top end, low end i get rpms but no power and this weird pingy gound like it fires too soon maybe.

Yeah timo that would be too advanced. Either step up and get midgrade gasoline or premium which has more resistance (octane rating) to pinging, or back off on that spark advancement.

Your engine runs w/o pinging when you're going faster because the motor spins fast enough to overcome the 'over-advanced timing' if I may. When the rpms slow, the gas is igniting a tad too early and this will cause a significant amount of stress on your wrist pin/rod/piston and crank shaft bearings.

Just set it back a few degrees and see how she sounds man. your low end should improve, and your high end shouldn't get worse by much if at all.

a piston will never hit a sparkplug. ever. it will hit the head/squish area before it ever hits the plug.

POWER IS IN THE POINTS!!!

even the best ones ever gotta be put on just right.....right?

sweet to zack cuperteen.

jjoseph get yer points on e-bay. they come in a little clear box.

what are these e-bay points in clear boxes?

tried searchin, no luck.
