Did you need a different flywheel for the charge coils ? im guessing you would need extra magnets on there since the stock one just has the ignition coil magnets on there.
Hey buddy my engine gx390 has only 1 wire coming out from the charging coil , I test the ac voltage and is around 30vac , can add a regular rectifier to it by using the only wire and a ground wire so I can get constant 13 or 14vdc ?
You should be able to, my circuit worked with regulator that came in the Snowmobile. I can't remember the circuit details, this was about 10 years ago.
Probably a stupid question but I have a Honda gx160 and it has an electric start but the electric start does not work and I want to take it off and just put a kill switch on it instead (engines for a mini bike ) anyways my question is do you need the charging coil if you are only using the pull start? Or is the charging coil only used if you are using a battery and electric start? Just trying to figure out how to simplify the wiring got me all confused
I looked into adding two coils like you did to my GX240 honda snowblower. I wanted a power source for a headlight. I didnt proceed with the project because I was told you need a 3 magnet flywheel to power the 12v 50 watt coils and my stock flywheel has 2 magnets. Did your coils work with the 2 magnet flywheel?
For the predator I picked up the coils from a gx200 from eBay but couldn't find the flywheel with magnets. I found an old Robin engine with 4 magnets I salvaged two and adhered them to the original predator flywheel using JB weld (the other two where destroyed during the removal process). There was a clearence between the flywheel and the coils was an issue the predators flywheel has a gap of 122 mm between weights the Honda is 125 mm I had no issue with the gap between the magnets 132 mm. Tried to have it machined but no one could (or wanted) to do it. So I picked up two mounted points 60 grit and with my drill spent 3 hours grinding down 1.5 mm from each one of the weights on the flywheel ended up with a 125.3 mm gap and it Worked!! Now my go kart has lights.
i want to do this design but put a regulator to charge a battery i have a electric start honda same basic engine as this anyone know of the right regulator?
