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!

4 of 5 For advanced timing retards September 9, 2015
taco eater : Oliver Young from Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham United Kingdom  
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.

5 of 5 Works on V1 October 29, 2014
taco eater : MennoOonneM from San Diego, CA United States  
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.

5 of 5 Advances Before It Retards August 30, 2013
taco eater : mikeb from Chicago  
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.

4 of 5 Screams when the Treats Stator works July 4, 2012
taco eater : Robert Lovato from Portland, OR United States  
If it weren't for the the internal coil dieing and pickup failing I would still be rocking this thing. Dumped the whole thing and went with a PowerDynamo.

5 of 5 perfect. nice curve. September 8, 2011
taco eater : Ryan Nash from Columbia, MO United States  
success! this cdi box is rad!

this is how you get spark from the pietcard 2041 cdi box on a treats e50 cdi stator. you'll need a different 12v ignition coil by the way (I used an olympia 12v external one).

red from box to HT coil
grey from box to grey from stator
blue from box to red from stator
black to ground

with the stator in the MIDDLE position the timing is right around 2.0 and will retard to around 1.6mm. i'm not sure at what rpms because I don't have a tach. at full retard my timing at idle was 1.5mm and retarded to 1.1 at high rpms (on stand, full throttle). I used a timing light and a digital caliper to make fire marks on my case. i'm assuming with the stator fully advanced your timing would be somewhere around 2.5mm at idle and 2.1-2.0mm when retarding/retarded.

hope this helps! the rpms are SMOOTH and the spark is nice and blue, big and fat. i'd definitely recommend this over the stock treats cdi ignition coil/box combo --- that one is static.
