Welcome to our collection of contact points and capacitors for scooters and mopeds! Here you will find high-quality electrical parts to keep your vehicle running smoothly. Find out everything you need to know about contact points and capacitors and how to install and maintain them for reliable operation.
What is the function of contact points in your scooter or moped?
Contact points play a crucial role in the ignition system of your scooter or moped. They control the spark plug timing, which is essential for starting and running the engine properly. When the contact points wear or become dirty, it can cause starting problems, poor performance and rough idling.
How do contact points work?
With each revolution of the crankshaft, the contact points open and close to send an electrical current through the ignition coil, which in turn produces a spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the cylinder.
What is the function of a capacitor in your scooter or moped?
A capacitor, also known as a capacitor suppression filter, helps to reduce electrical disturbances and interference that can occur in the ignition system of your scooter or moped. It protects the contact points against excessive wear and thus extends the life of the ignition system.
How does a capacitor work?
The capacitor stores electrical energy and releases it gradually, ensuring stable current through the contact points and reducing the chance of sparks and malfunctions.
Can I install my own capacitor or contact points?
Yes, you can certainly install your condenser and contact points yourself, but it does require some knowledge of the ignition system of your scooter or moped and the right tools. Make sure you follow the correct procedures and install the components correctly. If in doubt, consult an experienced technician for advice or assistance.
