Thanks for the links. I had no idea magnetos like these exists. You mentioned that it doesn’t power USBs , but I’m guessing it’ll work well for lights right?CDI
BBR Tuning Volt Master High Performance Racing CDI (Stage 1)
Tired of your engine not starting every time you need it to? Need a more consistent spark than that stock CDI's giving you? Increase your spark and finally fix the timing issue most CDI's have with the BBR Tuning Volt Master High Performance Racing CDI (Stage 1). The reason most engines don't...www.bikeberry.com
Coil I use - note: this coil,s 12v will NOT power USB propperly only other coil will the cheap one I mentioned
BBR Tuning 12v High Performance 2-Stroke Stator Magneto
Tired of running the lights and accessories of your motorized bike off batteries? If you've always wanted to run an accessory off of your 2-stroke bike engine like mopeds and motorcycles can, you want the BBR Tuning 12v High Performance 2-stroke Stator Magneto. While this magneto will give you a...
Well the bbr (BikeBerryRacing) coil gives me great start spark I don't know if it will power lights without fluctuating?? It should power LED, but I'd go for the cheap looking coil as I know its better power wise
You need a full wave rectifier to capture both halves of the wave. Yours is probably a single phase that simply cuts off one half to make the current behave like DC. I've used ignition coils as lighting coils and they work fine with a full wave rectifier. You can rewind with heavier copper wire to bump the output. The home made coil on my 79cc Predator runs an 1165 LED headlight bulb, LED tail light, LED brake light, and a 6 volt moped horn. You have to space the poles of the laminated core .001 of an inch from the magnet. I use a standard business card which is about .001 thick, plus it takes on the contour of the flywheel when adjusting the spacing.
Not disputing the rest of your post but typing paper is about.003 thick and the larger wire will decrease the voltage and increase the current available.
Good idea and very do-able. Just by looking at your photos I can tell you that you need to be more precise winding your wire. The wire must lay uniformly on the bracket and the gauge of wire may be wrong. Try rewrapping it very neatly and running it again. The more wraps you have the more juice it will produce.
I run a 6v add on coil with a 12v cree headlamp. It dims out at idle but it lights up bright enough to see while moving and I wont burn it up at high revs.

In addition to what Dennis suggests, the core should have multiple steel plates with insulators between each layer. The wiring should have an insulated coating (lacquer) and it should be wound on a non-conducting material like tape where it contacts the core. I took moped lighting coils apart to figure out how to reverse engineer them. Good luck on your upgrade.
Thanks wrench I kinda forgot to add that. Vodka sorta makes it foggy sometimes. You rock big dawg!
Oh
Oh and the area you wrap your winding around MUST BE even and straight... Yers is a little to wavy ... Just saying. But don't give up and let us know how it goes!
