On the late models with electronic ignition they have a few different configurations of charging systems. Some of the flywheels have only 3 long magnets spaced out evenly and some have 5 going pretty much all the way around.
So far all I can find that is associated with proper charging coil assembly for the mini bike world is that the flywheels with 3 magnets were in use with those coils-this is on the L heads, I so far have not found where the OHV used that same coil yet most I can find on those so far is the 5 magnet wheel with battery charging capabilities or just the dinky single wire 18w single light system. I am wondering if anyone has tried the 5 magnet wheel with one of those coils and if it works correctly or if I was to try it as an experiment could it be detrimental to the coil unit if it did not work properly . I do have a test engine ready but I really dont want to blow the alternator out.
I wont even pretend to know how electrical fields work but my guess is that spacing and the amount of magnets is probably one of the keys to what kind of power it generates? I can maybe remove and relocate to 3 of them, Probably wont be as easy is just removing 2 of them will have to see about how they are positioned N/S. I do have a 3 magnet one on the way to compare to one of the 5 magnet ones I have in stock.
