Hi,
I have a small motorcycle engine, a single cylinder, two-stroke, 39cc blata 'replica' engine to be precise. This runs a simple magneto type system to produce spark at the right time to ignite the fuel in the combustion chamber. I am looking at the feasability of making a multi-cylinder engine of either 2 or three cylinders and wondering how I rig up the ignition system. In the case of a twin cylinder engine could I just mount a second coil at 180 degrees from the first one, as the coil has two pick-ups built-in which match the flywheel magnets? The magnets are cast into the external circumference of the flywheel. There is no battery in the system and no points. See image below.
Thanks in advance for helping me out.
