Identifying Alternator/Magneto

[narrow_monza]

____ Firstly, thanks for your contributed pix !


[quote= narrow_monza ...
" the diagram depicting the simple 2-coil flywheel-magneto of the Mark3 (attached) shows that the ignition coil is actually the one with the one wire tied to chassis at the other end of the winding (bottom coil, "

____ What leads you to think that ?
It seems you may've mistook my specific wording... Cuz when I used the word "simple", I was in regards to the EARLY electrical-SYSTEM, (not just the early 2-coil stator) !
The particular stator-diagram which you've posted, is only intended for the rather later n-c.Mark-III/3 & pre-1966 5-speed Scrambler models, (which have a concocted brake-light circuit adapted), and-so therefore is-NOT the 'simple' version !
__ The upper-located power-coil has TWO wire-leads,, a YELLOW-wire for direct-connection to the ign.system, AND-also a WHITE-wire for direct-connection to it's intended brake-light circuit (& ground) !

I stand corrected!
So other than the wire gauge, how does the ignition coil differ from the lighting coil? Are the number of windings the same?

Thanks

____ It seems you must've quoted & responded to my post whilst I was still working on extended-response for it, before I finally 'signed-off' on my rather completed post version. _ (I guess I'll have-to try to make my bottom-located default/added-notification, more obvious.)
__ So you probably ought-to turn-back to that previous-page, and see what-all you've missed.



" Are the number of windings the same? "

____ I think the power-coil intended for the ign.system has about 10 more loop-turn/rows.
__ Please let us know what YOU count on them both.

***** oops. Going back now...

***** OK, will do.

Thanks!
