Default Re: Magneto-Charge

Except for the use of the common ground, the generator and magneto are 2 separate independent systems. The key just allows you to chose between using the battery or magneto for ignition. As long as the motor is running at sufficient speed the generator is charging the battery and the magneto is in use or on standby. The wire to the generator is hot at all time, switch on or off.
