Bondy, Mark and Gadge,
Here I sit apologising for my second snafu in 24 hours! What you need at the moment Bondy is clear correct information. This sort of stuff from me isn't helping!
Mark, I'm embarrassed and ashamed. I know the maths and the theory. What's worse is that I have the exact same solenoid here that I could have measured and done the maths correctly. Instead I chose to hold a wet finger in the air and declare 'she'll be right'. And embarrassed that my 'estimation' was so far off! Not good.
For reference, I have just measured the solenoid. 3.2 ohms.
Bondy, my suggestion is that you leave the magneto wiring until it's cranking. That said, you seem keen to hook it up. I just did a bit of looking. I took the fuel tank off (it's only two bolts) the magneto wiring is there. There is no end user connection that I can see. If you choose, there is a wire into the throttle switch secured with a spade terminal. Cut the terminal off and connect a length of wire with a splice. Run this to your ignition switch. The wire is secured into a clip above the switch. You'll need to get the wire out of this clip to give you enough wire length to work with.
If your interested, I'll take a couple of photos.
.......but I suggest you get it cranking first and we can do this later.
