The VAPE ignition is supplied by us with a CDI with so-called static ignition timing. In contrast to four-strokes, two-strokes do not necessarily require a dynamic adjustment due to the gas dynamic effects in the combustion chamber. The required ignition angle remains almost linear, despite increasing engine speed, due to the mixture burning through faster and faster. Only absolute racing engines, whose usable speed range only begins above 6000 rpm, may benefit from an advance. For almost all scooter engines operated on the road, however, a dynamic ignition timing is rather disadvantageous. The high ignition angle in the lower range makes the engine run rough and out of round, the ignition angle decreasing with increasing engine speed is often rather performance reducing. For these reasons, we recommend a CDI with static ignition timing. This harmonizes perfectly with series engines as well as strongly performance-increased engines.
For a durable and trouble-free function, the VAPE ignition or CDI requires a good ground connection.Inadequate contact can lead to malfunctions and / or defects.
