Not really car related but in a way is .
Permalink  
 

hey all not really car related but in a way it is or could be considered car related .

I have a Chinese knock off atv that uses a Chinese knock off of a Honda engine 100 cc , 4 stroke an uses a 6 pole magneto . its been decades since I fiddled with a mag on any thing .

 my question is , the atv has a battery electric start lights etc . I,ve kinda looked around an service manuals are non eggsistent . the mag should it get power when the key is turned on or not , or should it make its own power , the service guy at a parts supply place said oh yea just replace the mag set up

http://www.outsidedistributing.com/Stator_Magneto_6_Coil_p/08-0203.htm

it is this one should the red black wire get power , or give power . tomorrow I,m gonna  ohm meter that wire to check an see if it goes to the regulator . maybe a stoopid question , but memory banks are failing me right now , and this is the ol lady,s pit bike when we go to the drags . we got it for my woman to use at the drags strips , to save having to walk back an forth to the pits , the stands , food shack , the can etc . any Chinese knock off atv owners out there ????. thanks ..77.

the mag is as it says, a magneto which does not require external power to produce power or spark.  dragsters use mags since they don't require a battery to make spark.  your machine has six pole cause some of them do the spark and the others are the charging part to keep the battery up.  some machines only have an ignition mag so no lights  or electric start.  my buddy in town here sells those bikes I could get you his number.

Some bikes have a starter/alternater combo too. It can still be a magneto ignition but since it has the battery, accessories, lights and electric start, it could be one of these start/alt combos - something else to look into. What is the issue? Ignition? ....or charging?

By the picture in the link  its a mag \ alternator . With the lack of information  id guess no spark. find the kill switch wire on the CDI if is a 5 pin it should be the center wire . release it from the connector and plug it back together  use a spare plug and test for spark . if it sparks the kill switch / ignition /regulator is grounding out. if you still have no spark it can only be the mag \CDI or the coil of course you checked the plug and plug wire alreadysmile on the 70s honda all you had to do was unplug the ignition switch and use the kick start to hotwire one.
