DO NOT HAVE THIS OR ANY OTHER COIL GROUNDED TO THE FRAME IF YOU DO ANY KIND OF WELDING ANYWHERE ON THE FRAME!!!!! I had to learn the hard way, at least I think I did. Welded up a quick little exhaust mount, had everything ignition wise grounded. I could not get it running right after that. Felt like it was losing spark at higher rpm, totally random almost. Got a new one and a new pickup coil.. slapped it on and boom. There ya go. Jawa supreme 3 with a mild built e50 fuggin rips hard!

For advanced timing retards

Fires very retardedly for easy starting. Then *just* below idle speed it trips over into its full advance position. So bear that in mind if you use a hand drill to spin over the engine. Upon higher revs it will pull the timing back by around 3-4 degrees. Take advantage of that and you'll get good low end torque.
I used the brown Pietcard 3055 stator coil and a Puch E50 clockwise engine, with a ZA50 flywheel installed sans woodruff key (lap the taper). You will need a Buzetti type instrument to set timing vs TDC without the key.

Works on V1

Does what it supposed to I guess. Not sure if this is an *upgrade* above points. I've seen points break quite often on V1's so I switched to this for reliability. If you want to race; get a mini rotor or whatever. If you want to avoid broken points; get this and save some money.
I don't have a timing light, I just dialed in the timing by riding and tuning. I've used the yellow and blue coils with this and they both like to be pretty retarded.
I blew one of these boxes and a blue coil because of a floating ground. Didn't scrape enough powder coat off the frame under the grounding wire. My own fault.

Advances Before It Retards

Be aware that this box advances before it retards. That's not a complaint (or a bad thing) but it's really helpful to know when dialing in your timing.
