I have never seen a stator like that. This is a really an oddball engine. Instead of using semiconductor rectifiers to convert AC to DC they are using a mechanical rectifier with brushes and comutator. Amazing! The stopped using this type of charging system in cars in the early to mid 1960's.
It is really strange that they use 50 year old technology for charging the battery, and then they use a DC powered CDI which is a much newer technology.
So with the battery hooked up do you get 12 volts to the CDI? Do you get spark?
