stator who? timing what?

i know the flywheel rotates but why and whats this have to do with your motor? magnets, what do they do? how many do you have/need? flywheel lightening for less weight, makes sense...charging, sorta have an idea. TL more or less...

why are RAD fw good? MSD?

i love this website. :cheer:

The flywheel has permanent magnets that generate power / pulses to power / time the engine. There are three coils on the stator plate, one for power for the CDI. One for charging the battery, and one for providing a pulse that the CDI uses to generate the spark at the correct time. The mark on the stator lines up with a mark on the cases which sets the static timing. The CDI advances / retards the spark depending on RPM. The lighter the flywheel the quicker the engine will rev. If you are running a total loss ignition the stator only has a pulse coil and the flywheel only has a small magnet and is very light.

so if you have a faulty magnet essentially one of those things wont work? or that one of the working two will have to pick up for its loss and work double jobs?

Permanent magnets dont usually go bad unless they are exposed to extreme heat, they could get broken if they get hit by broken bendix debris, or something. If one has more than a small chunk out of it or missing completely then the flywheel will not work properly. Not to mention that it would be out of balance if pieces parts are missing.

I hate when magnets just stop being magnets. Sometimes all the magnets on my refrigerator just fall off all at once. Do you think maybe I didn't lube them good enough?
