sachs 80b widow maker

#1
Hi, i have a sachs 80b motor, i have been told i cant run lites from it because it has no charging system.??
however it does have a hot wire from the motor.( its a heavy yellow wire) i tested it and it show at least 14v and does lite the head lite very well.
any thought on this ? will i burn up the coil if i use it ? has any one tried this before ?
any help would be great, thanks.

I have built 8-10 of the 80 B's and every one has had the charging coils and the yellow wire is just for that. Just make sure to use 12V bulbs-

Thanks for the info.
got another question, are pistons and rings available for the 80b engine? i was offered a piston that is 5 over with rings, the asking price is $200
. is that fair? how about gaskets? are they available as well?
great motor would like to restore it. Thanks. Pete.
