Scootopia Lambretta 12v Variable DL & GP Electronic kit

Upgrade your Lambretta DL/GP with the Scootopia Variable Electronic Ignition Kit, designed to provide a reliable, modern electronic ignition system with variable ignition timing.

Suitable for Lambretta DL/GP models and engines using a DL/GP crank, this complete kit includes everything required to replace the original ignition system and improve ignition performance across the rev range.

The variable ignition system automatically adjusts the ignition timing by up to 8° advance or retard, allowing the engine to run with optimised timing at both lower and higher RPM. This can provide improved engine performance, smoother running and better overall ignition control.

Key Features

• Complete 12V variable electronic ignition kit

• Suitable for Lambretta DL/GP and engines using a DL/GP crank

• Approx. 2.1–2.2kg two-part flywheel

• Standard-length plastic cooling fins

• 8° variable advance/retard

• Set-up timing of 25° BTDC

• 9-stud centre boss for increased strength

• Removable HT lead from the CDI

• Correct electrical connectors supplied

• Optional DC output

• DC output can be used for charging devices such as phones or powering a Sat Nav

• Supplied with regulator/rectifier

• Designed for standard and mildly tuned engines

The variable ignition principle is similar to systems such as the SIP Vape, Casatronic and Varitronic. Instead of maintaining a fixed ignition timing throughout the rev range, the system adjusts the timing as engine speed changes.

Kit Contents

The kit includes:

• Stator plate with stator and wiring

• Flywheel/rotor with plastic fan

• CDI with removable HT lead

• Regulator/rectifier

• Flywheel nut and washer

• Extended fitting spanner/tool

• HT cap

• Red battery feed wire with ring and spade connectors

• Wiring loom with connectors

Installation

Basic knowledge of ignition timing and the use of a timing disc and strobe light is recommended when installing and setting up the kit.

Tools required:

• 8mm socket – fan cover bolts

• 10mm socket – stator bolts

• 17mm socket – flywheel nut

• 19mm socket – most flywheel pullers

• Torque wrench

• Timing disc – optional

• TDC tool – optional

• Timing/strobe light – optional

The flywheel nut should be tightened to approximately 50–55 ft/lbs.

When setting up TDC, the arrow on the flywheel does not need to point directly to 12 o'clock. Depending on the engine or barrel kit fitted, it may be necessary to slightly enlarge the elongated holes in the stator backing plate to achieve the correct ignition timing. This should not normally be required on standard or mildly tuned engines.

Important Information

This kit is intended for standard and mildly tuned Lambretta engines.

The installation images are provided for demonstration purposes only.

Never run the engine without the flywheel cover fitted, as doing so can result in serious injury.

For the recommended wiring configuration, Scootopia recommend using their Simple 12V Loom. When retaining the original 6-pole loom, the Scootopia 12V Junction Box is recommended.

A Complete Modern Ignition Upgrade

With variable ignition timing, a lightweight flywheel, modern electronic components and the option of DC power output, the Scootopia Variable Electronic Ignition Kit provides a practical upgrade for Lambretta DL/GP owners looking for improved ignition control and modern electrical functionality.
