Mini-gen stealing my spark??

Hi all,

engine: 2 stroke, 48cc, NT carb, NGK b6h spark plug.

I have installed my 12V mini-gen, without connecting it to anything. I haven't connected the mini-charger, that goes with it.

I turn the bike over and no spark, take out the mini-gen, sparking as normal.

any ideas on what is wrong? I have emailed the seller, no response yet.

do I need to insulate the min-gen, with the magneto? or is the mini-gen broken?

Cheers
Tim

but that doesn't make any electrical sense, if you know what I mean.

my small amount of electrical knowledge, indicates something is wrong somewhere.

I have ordered a newer magneto, than my 2009 one, to see if this will do. But the reading I have done, I dont think it will make a difference.

this what I got in my reply from wonderful creations



Thank you for contacting me regarding this matter, and sorry to learn that you're experiencing problems.
- Please connect the Mini Generator to a load before operating the bike.
- Please use a SPDT switch which directs Mini-Gen output to ground. This neutralizes Mini-Gen when not in use.
- Some engines might experience interference when Mini-Gen is in "no load" condidtion.
- If you have a 2-wire Mini-Gen please connect black wire to engine ground and use a switch to ground other wire when under "no load condition".
- If Mini-Gen is being used along with Mini-Charger, then please connect Mini-Gen to our 12 Volt Mini-Charger as directed in the instructions.
