Yah Linc, small motors don't actually have a regulator, and they are single stage, but the effect is the same. They produce an AC waveform (like a real strong hall effect sensor) and you have to rectify it. But the dwell, peaks, and valleys are the same deal. I found this same situation on the Raptor 80 I put togeather for the kids this summer. If you want it to idle correctly it takes a battery.

Some small motors just use a magneto ignition and are completely void of a charging system all togeather, but that's not what you would find on a snowmobile with an electric start...

If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...
