Hey all, it's been awhile!

I took the lighting coils off an older clone, and put them on a predator 212.
I also swapped out the flywheel from the same engine.

I took the two wires from the coils and plugged them into the connectors for the headlight.
When I hit the headlight switch, the light comes on but it's not very bright.
At higher rpm's it gets brighter, but not near as bright as I remember it being, and I also remember it being much brighter at idle.

What did I miss?

Thanks for any help!

The 6.5 clone and 212 flywheels aren't interchangeable due to the cranks having different tapers. It may look like it fits, but it doesn't.

That's what you missed.

are the two wires coming out of the coils yellow? Do you have a volt ohm meter? I did something similar where I had dual coils on a clone and the coils were in series so the output was two yellow wires into a plastic connector. These were isolated not connected to the engine ground. They are AC output. I ran them to a cheap ebay 4 wire regulator/rectifier which provided a regulated 12v for my led lights.
