I have been exparamenting with the charging system on this. My first try was the cheap as they come, 4 wire regulator-rectifier for chinese scooters. Wiring it up was simple enough, but it didn't work. Fortunately, I have a transformer with several different outputs, that came in handy. I only got 6v out of the r-r, on the engine, so I tried first, the 24v output from my transformer, and it worked perfect, at 12v. But when connected to the 14v output, it only made 6v, again. The output from the stator goes as high as 13v, when I tested it, so I guess the r-r needs more input voltage to work properly. I diy'd together a bridge rectifier, and the dc charge controller from an old 2 stroke scooter (which it probably doesn't need), and that works, but I'm looking for an all in one unit that will install cleanly. It also needs to be cheap, and easily found, I'll update when I do.
I was reading a wiring shcematic for a scooter with cdi, and it showed a seperate "speed limiter (adjustable)", I'm looking into that, it might be the overrev limiter we need for this engine.
I think that the 15mm rotary valve diaphram carb I used might be a little bit too big, it has a very slight tendancy to bog out a little bit if I open the throttle too fast at low speed. It doesn't bother me, but I think that I will rebuild the 12mm one I have, and try that. I think that should be perfect: it's the same bore size as the overbore carbs that AGK sells, roughly. The 15mm is way bigger. Either will fit the billet velocity stack kit, as well as working with the Dax adaptor. I don't know which size diaphram carb Dax sells.
I love this engine, it runs really good, and starts on the first try, every time. I just replaced it's oil with Royal Purple synthetic, it'll like that. That exhaust I used sounds really good, it's deep and throaty, but not particularly loud.
