Installing the Treats Puch E-50 CDI Complete Adventure Pack - Version 2

Wired per the instructions in the above link and as directed moved the brown wire from the rear to the front and cut down the bolt so it is flush with the back of the stator plate. That stops it hitting the E-50 case preventing full rotation of the plate during timing. I added a zip tie to stop the bundle pulling the connections loose, but you don't see that in video until I mount the stator to the engine.

I replaced most of the connections with quick connect and soldered any original connections I kept as crimps sometimes come loose/don't have a good connection.

At this point because my aim is to just make sure the components work and the engine will run I'm connection everything as-is. Once it run's I plan on going back and making extensions for wires that don't quite reach, tidying up the wiring/brake cables etc.

The Olympia coil wouldn't fit in the original coils bracket so I made a new one from aluminum (Sorry that the "making of" it takes up such a large portion of the video, I will add a link to skip it when that point starts).

I'm not using a frame ground, instead I'll connect all grounds to the ignition coil. When I wire up the lights and any accessories they will all have a ground wire ran back to a common point - which may end up being a Terminal ("Chocolate") Block under one of the side covers.

Fuel line is Helix Red Transparent - 3/16" to connect the Tank to the Carb (petcock is designed for 1/4", but will work with 3/16" if you use a hose clamp or zip ties - All other parts in that run used 3/16" plus makes it easier to replace without damaging the plastic tip on the petock) and 1/4" for section that ties the two sides of the tan together.

Using regular ATF I got from a local automotive store. Fresh Gas (1 Gallon) mixed 50:1 with non synthetic 2 stroke oil (~2.6oz). Plug was gapped to .016".

Starting just needed a little playing around with the choke and idle screw. Once I got that sorted out it now starts first kick, albeit a little rough and bogs down when given a little throttle. Next video will be setting the timing so I can test ride and tune the carb.
