treatland rally updater – DEC 11th-13th CBBG 11: Major Chad to Ground Control

good morning and welcome to this decades treatland rally update. amidst all the chaos go and enjoy some time with chad burke in space (ok…online) at CBBG 11. there is a sick rizzato available at the raffle as well as a bunch of treatland gift certificates plus all your long lost friends you haven’t seen since 2019 2018 maybe 2012 or 2005. i know there’s some recluses out there. anyway…here is all the info and the sign up page below — registration is $20 and includes free shirt, entrance in raffle, and lotsa good times….and you don’t even have to leave home or get out of your pajamas, sounds good to me.

SIGN UP HERE!!!!

Really excited that this marks the ELEVENTH Annual Moped Community Build and Gather (CBBG) will be held the weekend of December 11th through the 13th, 2020 and broadcast from Quarterkick in Kalamazoo, MI.

This has been a challenging year for all of us. It pains me to not be able to host you all in my shop and provide knowledge and access to equipment many don’t have usually. I’ve chosen an online format this year to help keep everyone safe. I’ll add pins to the map of virtual attendees this year in a special designated color.

As always, this event helps me make improvements and sustain costs incurred by having a shop this large. The donations received greatly help in promoting and encouraging attendance every year and are greatly appreciated.

People from all over the country universe (edit;treatland) will congregate online as they come to show off their personal build spaces and shops with sandblast, powdercoat, welding, rebuilt engines and build up bikes.

There will be shirts, pins, and one raffle ticket per registration.

For this years raffle, there’s a Rizzato Atala Master 50 (top) up for grabs, complete restoration is underway right now, but the color scheme will be very similar to that of the Peugeot (bottom).

Also of interest could be the $500 in treatland gift certificates.

Feel free to invite anyone to join us!

what’s new?

there’s so much new. i don’t even know what’s new. but i can show you a couple new items that i think are quite amazing. from EBR. we got all the frame braces now in black! no mare having to buy a can of spray paint any more!

not to mention new versions of the EBR hydraulic forks. between all the different versions we have, there is bound to be one that will fit any moped! they are all the same forks, just with different head tube lengths, different fork tube lengths and different threading diameters. so find the one you need, and if you need help, just ask.

how about these new EBR forks. these might be my favorite ones. i like the dust cover look. perfect i think for puch magnum replacement. tho, these are wider and the brake plate tab is a little different. hum. we will see. might need a longer axle that the original puch front axle. let me check on that.

+ if that wasn’t enough. we ordered stock maxi forks in chrome for ya. if you like the original look. here it is in a beautiful chrome finish!

farewell to points and condensor

Electronic ignition for all types of mopeds. These turned replace the points and condensors. Due to the variety of brands of magnetic flywheels and engine turns, we have different colors for better equipment and more simple setup, without altering the position of the original ignition plate. CDI units 1 – 7 have two parts (coil and CDI) included in this list as separate items all with the same 2013 CDI box

CDI with out sensor

The acronym means CDI Capacitive Discharge Ignition.
As its name implies, uses a capacitor that is charged with a given voltage and discharged on the winding high at the time required for the motor.
The sensor consists of power without a supply roll, a CDI (black box) and a high coil.
Turning the flywheel coil generates AC power which sends the CDI.
The Commission charges the capacitor with the positive half-cycles of alternating current and the negative discharge, therefore each complete cycle of alternating current results in a firing spark plug.
Fliers who work with this system consist of 4 magnets and generate 2 sinusoids per turn, so for this reason the sensor ignition system produce 2 sparks per revolution, one in PMS and another in PMI.
To achieve the right setting combines cutting flywheel key, position and polarity of the magnets, the position of the supply roll with the advance degrees required by the motor.
Due to the characteristics of the CDI are always fixed point at which they are used for 2-stroke engines and low displacements that do not require an advance curve complex.

CDI with sensor

The acronym means CDI Capacitive Discharge Ignition.

As its name implies, uses a capacitor that is charged with a given voltage and discharged on the winding high at the time required for the motor.

The ignition coil sensor consists of a supply, a CDI (black box), a sensor and a high coil.

Turning the flywheel coil generates AC power which sends the CDI.

The Commission charges the capacitor with the positive half-cycles of alternating current and maintains the current stored until it gets a pulse from the sensor. With this pulse triggers the capacitor on the coil current high generating a spark at the plug.

There are two basic types of sensors, one that sits inside the flywheel with an iron core and magnetic field takes the wheel to generate the pulses and the other is located outside the steering wheel and magnetic core is excited by a cam attached to the steering wheel to go near it generates the necessary pulse.
These CDI fixed point used in 2-stroke engines or some low displacement 4-stroke engines because other require an advance curve depending on the RPM for better performance.

voltage regulators

One of the easiest circuits to produce light on a motorcycle or moped is to connect the output of a generator coil (located inside the flywheel) the source of light through a light switch.

This coil generates AC with a frequency and voltage proportional to engine RPM.

Normally with a 4-pole flywheel generates two cycles per revolution.

If we apply a focus directly to the output of the coil will have two problems:

1 – At low RPM will have very little power and therefore our light is very low (this can be noted on mopeds when adjusting)

2 – At high RPM the coil will generate more voltage than necessary thus burn the lamp.

The first problem we can not give solution because we do not have the necessary power.

In the second case, were designed surge protectors whose function is to remove the positive and negative peaks in excess of 6 or 12 volt as appropriate.

These teams do not rectify the current, but the alternates kept stable.

Have two connections, one positive and one negative, and are applied in parallel with lighting coil.
Physically can have one or more terminals may have two positive and one negative, one positive and one mass cabinet or other combination, but always connected to the coil positive and negative light to the chassis.

we now have a nice supply of the pietcard CDI conversion sets. these CDIs are what they call sensor-less CDI. you use them with your stock points stater plate and flywheel! crazy, right? and don’t forget about all the pietcard CDI boxes we have as well. you can use these on all kinds of mopeds. + some more pietcard surprises to come.

here’s some info about the sensor-less CDI from pietcard

here’s how pietcard CDIs are made in the pietcard factory. looks pretty advanced!
