Reply To: Recharge Magnets on Fly Wheel

Yup, Tubs. Both of the magnets that your lower arrows point to were North Poles. Your upper arrows are simply pointing to the balance weights. Some of the Phelon flywheels only had one weight, but the magnets were the same as those in your photo. The Phelon magneto will work with the magnets charged either North and South, or South and North. They must be different. The sequence will determine whether the mag. produces a positive or negative spark. Negative is preferred. They both work as in the 4 cylinder mags used on Mercury’s 4 cylinder inline engines that had alternating positive and negative sparks. Cheers, R.T.
