Bike: its a boat with
boat

Building a boat consisting of three hinged units the paddle wheel and engine. the 40 gallon drum+extension crews quarters and the forward section with mast sail and large tail fin. The engine that runs the paddle wheel is a stomp cdi and the wiring is doing my head in. does the power go through the regulator to the coil to the little coil against the flywheel and to earth?

Re: boat

power from where?

The spark is powered by the flywheel (stator).

This goes to the CDI, which goes to the coils, which goes to the HT lead.

Re: boat

Hey Dangle_kt, Sorry about the delay. Some people think Ive got Alziemers but Ive allways been like it. right please bear with me. I Once had a 650 B.S.A. which had mag ignition. but that was a long time ago . Is the C.D.I. the little coil thing bolted next to the flywheel (stator) Ive got 5 wires comin from the engine. green an bluenwhite which are from the little coil.an 2 yeller,blacknred.
My rectifier has green, yeller, pink, rednwhite. The greens are both earths. the yellows put out power.
Does the direct ignition power have to go through the rectifier or can it go - yellow from stator to coil to blue and white through the thing Ive been calling little coil to earth? Im sorry to be such an old fart but . Hey I am an old fart!!!!

Re: boat

best approach is to sign up to photobucket (other sites are available)

http://photobucket.com/images/uk

upload your photos to there (simple drag and drop approach) then post a link to the photo - if you use the IMG link that should display the photo in the thread
