The WICO magneto that is used is named the FW6 ½-1418. There is only one coil, one set of points and one condensor that alternately fires both cylinders. Johnson employed a similar design in their LT, DT, and AT models. Inside the flywheel there are two sets of magnets and a bakelite disk with a brass sector that fires one cylinder but grounds the other.
