ITALKAST IDM ignition 12V for Vespa PK XL with 1400 g pole wheel

With its IDM ignition, Italkast offers an interesting alternative to the original ignition system. The CDI-controlled high-voltage ignition with a full 90 watts of light output at 12 volts offers enormous advantages over an old, contact-controlled ignition with a weak 6-volt electrical system. In addition to the greatly improved light output, the Italkast ignition is easily suitable for engines with a power peak far beyond 10000 rpm. But there are also tangible advantages for vehicles that already have electronic ignition as standard.

The basic idea is a significant improvement in acceleration due to less flywheel mass. The pole wheel of the Italkast IDM ignition weighs just 1.4 kg, making it almost 50 % lighter than a standard V50 fan wheel. The resulting throttle response is fantastic and acceleration in the lower gears is significantly more aggressive. This is achieved by a lightweight design in which the rotor and fan are separate components.

  • Rotor weight: 1400 grams
  • Dynamic ignition timing adjustment by 8°
  • Complete 12V replacement ignition including voltage regulator
  • More agile acceleration
  • More power
  • More torque
  • More spontaneous throttle response
  • 90Watt light output
  • Reinforced cast aluminum fan ring


The ignition itself is based on a base plate of a 50cc automatic controller and has a frequency-dependent ignition timing control. This is dynamically designed and adjusts over the speed range in a pre-programmed ignition curve. The engine adjusts the ignition timing dynamically (i.e. with a change in speed) by 8° crank angle.

Example:

  • 2,000 rpm 23° VOT
  • 5,000 rpm 21° VOT
  • 8,000 rpm 15° VOT


The dynamic adjustment helps the engine to achieve good torque and clean combustion, even in the lower speed range, in which any resonance exhaust that may be present does not yet have a good supporting effect. To reduce the thermal load on the engine, the ignition timing is reduced again in the upper speed range, as the engine is usually well filled here.

NOTE: Requires a pole wheel puller M22x1.5 mm (see accessories). Please order the corresponding bulbs separately.
