4 of 5 Overall a good upgrade... Friday, January 1, 2021
taco eater : The Wrocketrider from cleveland, OH United States  
Sooo, I have had this installed on my Motobecane AV7 powered unit since 9/2017. Worked pretty good with stock cylinder and crank, until the crank broke (second time this happened to me-did it with the stock ignition too). This spring I upgraded to a full circle flywheel crank, Airsail 74cc piston/cylinder, Big Fin Head with compression release, new pipe and a 18mm Mikuni. Mayhem ensued. First mistake: I set the timing to 2.1mm BTDC like stock, Oops. This is what ultimately welded the piston to the cylinder in an epic seizure. Going with more conservative timing like other reviewers have mentioned (1.5-1.7mm BTDC) when I install the new piston/cylinder.
The good news is that this thing belts out a serious CDI spark. Way quicker starting. Better Idle. Just beware of: Timing, Stator coil screws, and lighting coil output (get a regulator). Oh, and torque the bejesus out of the flywheel nut - chased a "jetting" problem for hours only to discover that the flywheel had shifted...

4 of 5 Seems okay, but screws are still terrible Friday, August 21, 2020
taco eater : Rich from Lincoln Park, MI United States  
You would think after all these years the manufacturer would get the message and assemble the stator plate with screws that actually stay in.  NOPE!  Other than that, fired right up, though I still have some tuning to do.

PS if you want to put your crank in the slot, sport this woody: OEM honda NA50 NU50 NC50 PA50 hobbit moped woodruff key

5 of 5 Easy install for newbs and works like a pro Tuesday, May 26, 2020
taco eater : Canada Eh Moped from Toronto, ON Canada  
So much easier to set the timing and get this thing going than fumbling with setting the points on the original Mobylette 6v system. Eliminate any issues and set yourself up for success with this. Everything is plug and play, make sure to get a voltage regulator (also plug and play). Big spark

5 of 5 Great Upgrade Wednesday, January 29, 2020
taco eater : Drew Gregory from Elkton, MD United States  
Great little package with everything you need to convert your old points into some nice modern CDI ignition. Super easy to install as well, but make sure you get those new allen bolts. Haven't tried it with the original bolts, but they're so cheap why chance it? Timing mark is right above the notch in the flywheel. I timed mine at 1.5mm on my 74cc av7 and it seems to work well. Make sure you get a regulator for the lighting coil! it's so powerful it'll blow those old bulbs right out!

5 of 5 I love it! Sunday, February 3, 2019
taco eater : mike thompson from dunstable, MA United States  
I never leave reviews but this was the best thing I have ever bought. My Moby av7 was a boat anchor and this fixed it. Throws unreal spark. Easy to install. All the timing marks are already there. Bike starts right away and runs beautifully. I have only been running it a few weeks so I can't speak long term but so far I couldn't be happier

5 of 5 Amazing for the price Thursday, May 31, 2018
taco eater : Michael Malvo from Kirtland, OH United States  
Amazing for the price, take yer caliper or something strait, score the timing mark and time 1.2-1.4 mm before tdc and youre golden. No need for instructions, made my hands nice and tingly.

4 of 5 Yes Friday, January 12, 2018
taco eater : Anonymous Person  
Seems to be a good kit so far.
Hols for mounting on to case are a bit big and not prescise
Shocks like a tazer and Sparks first turn of the crank runs a dream.

Question is the lighting circiut ac or DC as I need to find a voltage regulator

4 of 5 Running hot and lean Thursday, May 11, 2017
taco eater : Graham Bramley from Carbrooke, Norfolk United Kingdom  
cdi fitted to std av10,
engine now running lean and very hot
Was OK on std points & coil

edit treats : you just need to properly jet and time the engine as we let you know by email and you will be all good!!!!! use a timing light to ensure perfection.

Your suggestions are logical and I have tried them but with no luck .
Removed CDI kit for now .
I will try again at later date , along with another customer UK having the same problem.

edit treats : If you are not having luck with timing and jetting then that is the problem.. not the cdi. get a micrometer and timing light and a larger range of jets and you'll be fine, like everyone else using this cdi. There is not a reason these work fine in the US and not in the UK, so keep at it and you will get it.

Refitted CDI kit with 74cc kit , larger jet and used woodruff key to lock timing . (pull start was moving it on shaft)
all good now , thanks for the above advice.
