Converting non charging hs50 to charging

[Jinlo8324]

What is everything I need? I know I need the magneto, stator, and a flywheel. I want to use a round cover with it, what kind of flywheel should I use to be able to have a charging hs50 with a round cover? Thanks in advance for the help!

I believe this great info was put together by one of our own members.

I did this to the hs50 I put in my Powell to look like the period correct HS40 motor that should have been in it.

Are we talking about lighting? Or lighting plus charging?

I wasn't aware there was a difference homestly. I have no need to run a battery if that's what you're asking, only running lights.

That looks great! Couple questions. How did you clean the parts? Everything looks brand new. What did you use for a crank shaft?

I took it apart and soaked the laminations in evaporust and it came out like new. Hard part was getting off the coil retainers. I got a new crankshaft from Jacks years ago that i used.

10-4 some tecumsehs had provisions for charging a battery, in addition to lighting harness.

Mine is a 3 amp ac lighting coil there were others with higher amperage and a couple of diodes to provide dc
