GY6 AC vs DC Stator/CDI [ How does it work? What is best? ]

[@brianborshoff6876]

I like your video. Unfortunately the DC will not work without a battery. The exciter coil is there for a reason. Many dirtbikes dont use batteries. My CT70 clone engine doesnt use a battery so the DC unit will not work.

[@RollingWrench]

This video was specifically for the GY6 engine. The kit is used for GY6 only. But yes you are correct. Ac has to be used on the dinosaur bikes with the dinosaur technology. This was the point I was trying to make. Battery equipment GY6 engines are still using AC systems. They should be updated to a newer and better technology.

​@@RollingWrench Does that mean the GY6 engine technology is not "dinosaur" tech?😂

[@RollingWrench]

@@cristianr3712 No actually quite the opposite. As I showed the GY6 Stock AC system is dinosaur tech. The dc system is the updated system. I thought I did a decent job showing that…. But maybe not.

[@Michael69101]

That explains a lot, on some old trouble starting issues maybe.

[@RollingWrench]

Nice! Hopefully this video will help a lot of people

I appreciate the video man!

Thanks for watching!

Excellent content... and even better kits!!! 👍 I've been tinkering with the Lifan, Zongshen, and Shineray 200cc and 250cc vertical clones for a few years now. I've done engine swaps on both of my 1972 Honda CB100s with these engines. I absolutely LOVE THEM!!! The 172FMM is a BEAST!! 😂 Unfortunately, both of my vertical clones have "wet" 8 pole AC stators. They also have very odd sized center hubs and bolt spacing. Mine also mount to the stator COVER... not to the case. I've looked everywhere for 11 and 18 pole stators that have the same hub and bolt spacing, but i can't find them. I guess my only option to convert to DC ignition is by deleting the exciter coil circuit in my AC system. I dont have any issues with charging or dim lighting with my existing 8 pole, so it would probably work fine... RIGHT?? I REALLY like the idea of your digital DC CDI. Verrrry nice, indeed! Have a great day. 👍

Help! Need some advice from ya I know you know scooters way better than anyone else I could ask so here it goes...sorry it's a bit long. Scooter=yamaha Bws 50cc 2stroke 2005 or 2006 model Bike sat for years so it needed a new carb. New carb never got fully tuned properly so bike sat again. Figured it was time to pull it out again. Tried electric starter buzz but no crank..thought battery was just low so tried kickstart...uh oh no movement.thought oh shiz it's seized from sitting. Had mini panic moment then decided to pull spark plug to spray oil in and see if I could get piston loose. Not sure why but before spraying any oil I decided to push kickstart again with my hand....this time it was free alright as I got a face full of 2stroke oil from the spark plug hole. Apparently oil got in there somehow and hydrolocked it. Electric starter still doesn't work just a buzz noise from starter relay thing. Ordered a new starter and carb but am wondering how the heck that much oil got into the cylinder(thought carb bowl would be full of oil but it wasn't) so now I have no clue how the oil got in there...best guess is gravity and an over filled oil tank somehow cause the issue??? Any ideas...really don't want to get it running and somehow hydrolock it with oil while running.

Excellent stuff Matt, Will all this come with the PNP ruckus wiring harness you are developing?

[@RollingWrench]

No, I have something much much better :-).

[@CooterPotPie]

Hey man, love the content. I'm looking into getting into ruckus' mods as a hobby, I was just wondering if there's a year of used ruckus to avoid buying if im planning to do a gy6 swap and completely customize?

[@RollingWrench]

Niiice! No all ruckuses are the same from 2002 to present. Other than a few engine changes on the stock motor. But for GY6 swap any year will work

[@jasonfabo7126]

Did we ever get the new tunes for the bigger gy6s?

[@RollingWrench]

Not quite. Still working on them

[@jasonfabo7126]

@RollingWrench we appreciate you, let us know

[@DavidMeling]

Hello, i have a 50cc 139qmb with ecu injection. Do you know how i can tune it?

[@RollingWrench]

Fuel injected?

[@DavidMeling]

@@RollingWrench yes, it’s a Peugeot kisbee from 2022 with 139qmb engine and mikuni ecu I think, that’s all I know

[@aydenmaesen4433]

Can you connect a dc stator on ac cdi?

[@RollingWrench]

No

[@fatchunk3678]

Would this fork for Navi?

[@RollingWrench]

No. We have this though: www.rollingwrenchdenver.com/products/untitled-sep5_01-58?keyword=navi

[@RG-gk4yi]

Would the AC system keep working if the battery died?

[@brianborshoff6876]

No!

[@RollingWrench]

Yes, if the charging system was working. No if the battery was dead and the charging system was not working.

[@NOFx420x]

I just need a how to video to convert a system to DC headlights

[@RollingWrench]

Maybe I can do that next

[@Wundernut66]

So I have a black wire that comes out of my stator (11 pole gy6), but nothing coming out of my drow harness that it connects to. I got curious and put a multimeter on it and the voltage was 200+, what does it go to?

[@RollingWrench]

It’s probably a black wire with a red strip. I imagine drow uses a basic dc cdi box rather than a dc cdi coil. That would mean everything is the same as an ac set up, but with a dc cdi. So 12v power goes to the cdi rather than ac power
