I installed a powerdynamo about 3 years ago on my bike and haven't touched it since. Great low end power and able to run auxilary 12 volt LED lights no problem. These CDI systems are worth the money. Simple plug and play: red-red, white-white, blue to kill switch. Rectifier takes BOTH black wires from stator, red wire out is to all lights - split it off to head/stop/running/speedo/anything! (rectifier will ground to the frame when you mount it.)
UPDATE 2013: this same CDI is now on a derbi flat reed engine. Clockwise rotation. Just drilled on the stator backplate - one new hole for mounting and wallowed out another a little larger for second mounting hole. This will bring the stator/flywheel center.
UPDATE 2018: the AC one might not be available anymore? you can buy the DC one instead. the wiring on that regulator will be both blacks from harness to the regulator blacks, two brown wires to ground and red out will be the power wire to everything.

Great CDI if you don't wanna worry about anything. Follow the instructions and it will work, spot on. Be super careful not to fudge the wires on the coils.
Get the complete unit with regulator, unless you already got one for a floating ground. Otherwise, yeah, gotta get one.
Note: you can find this from powerdynamo for 250 euros, not $$$, and shipping is a killer. Best price I could find for new. Treats, as always, rocks with shipping!!!

a light at the end of the tunnel...

if you think you've died and you're going to heaven think again... that light at the end of the tunnel is my bike with a powerdynamo on it. the lights are insanely bright... you *MUST* use the supplied voltage regulator or you will be incredibly sorry. this brought my gila to life...
setup:
1) with flywheel slightly on (pressure with your hand) find TDC 2) remove flywheel as gently as possible as to not move the crank from TDC 3) with your micrometer (I used a buzzetti one) advance the piston to 2mm BTDC (per powerdynamo instructions) 4) very carefully put the flywheel on making sure the line on the flywheel matches up with the red dot on the stator 5) take a rubber mallet and whack that sucker on 6) hold the flywheel with your hand taking care to not move the crank 7) unscrew timing tool 8) insert piston stop very slowly until you feel it barely touching the piston crown 9) tighten the flywheel nut down 10) blast blast away...
