No. I do
not know a lot more..indeed I don't know much at all. Please don't mix 'opinionated' with 'knowledgeable' (read the sig line!! ;) ). While I
DO try to mean something..and make some SENSE of it at the same time, I also do effuse total BS from time to time just for fun.
This is not the latter.
What I do not understand is how it is possible (easy or simply anyway) to take a different stator..with different timing (by virtue of stator coil placement), run it under a flywheel/rotor with a completely different magnet structure..and expect ANYthing to happen that is good.
Again..I'm not throwing cold water on the idea..just saying I have NO understanding how that could possibly work. The E-gap would have to be determined and the 'ignition' coil would have to be repositioned to make the spark timing correct.
The stator shown in the KTM link in an above post is the sort of thing you are after (assuming that making a multi-pole stator is the plan)..
with the OEM 'ignition' coil in the OEM position.
If you MOVE the ignition coil..you open up a great big can-o-worms, seems to me.
You put a lot of effort into reforming the G4 (whatever) plate. Put that effort into reconfiguring the OEM KDX plate?
BTW. I realize 'ignition coil' is not the correct terminology. I use it because it might be the most easily understood phrase in this discussion. 'Excitor', 'Pulsar'...there are other terms that fit much better.
To answer your question:
...should I wrap the first coil one way and then the next coil the opposite (both with 18ga wire since I want higher wattage). And should I connect both coils in parallel or run separate wires for each coil straight to the voltage regulator?
One way then the other? If you mean CW followed by CCW..according to the rewind page above..yes.
Connecting the two coils in parallel is a no-go. Consider: You would be connecting the 'pulse' of one coil and
forcing (by way of the connection) it to be on the same wire as a completely differently timed and generated pulse of another coil.
That is where the Big Beer simile comes in. You can't do that.
With your house still connected to utility power, hook up a generator to your service entry. Start your genny, flip the CB through which you have the genny connected (in parallel to utility power)...and
..watch all sorts of things smoke, blow up, and catch fire!
**edit** The font size above was intended to be larger than default..not unreadably small. I used a /size font number that's worked fine before, missed that it did NOT work now. Don't know how I missed it. Too small to notice... **edit**
The point is not that the bike would blow up and catch fire. The above example involves thousands of watts..hundreds of amps at high voltage. The end result would be the same.
No
good things.
The two power pulses would do more of a cancelling each other out than anything else. One would be trying to go 'high' while the other would be trying to go 'low'.
Next: Separate wires for each?
Another no-go.
That was the point of the linked 'how to' on the KTM stator: A good write-up with pictures (and some excellent tips..like his brass spoon) that shows..well...how to. You use ONE piece of wire, wound DIFFERENTLY on each pole, ending up with...one piece of wire that has two ENDS to it!
That assumes you do
float the ground. If you don't, you finish with only ONE end!
A btw, maybe...but Inda did a good lot of fussing with a floating ground and a rectifier/regulator (NOT what is used on the KDX). He and I talked back and forth about it a good bit. I am not aware that he ever got the idea to work satisfactorily. I recall he scrapped the idea. He was using the OEM stator, NOT a multi-pole re-fit.
