Theirs a seller on the ST 90 site selling a stator & flywheel MIT item #284026055390 , also just a flywheel also a MIT . For ct 70

Well, its a Mitsubishi flywheel for a 4 speed. I sure as hell cant tell what the stator goes to. Has a neutral wire, black, yellow, white, and maybe brown. All with single female ends. There is no condenser on the stator plate, and the condenser hold down is in use by the felt bracket. Everything looks original and not hacked up.

Its not CL70 like Lukelaw1 stated. Its too long for a CT/SL/XL. Did a C70 come with this?

I'll post up pics if needed. Bottom line is the flywheel was about $50.

I suspect this is a CL70 stator. That's a good news/bad news situation. The bad news is that you are "stuck" with the CL70 wiring & remote condenser, along with battery to make the ignition work.. The good news is that it's a 6V/full wave...everything runs off of battery power and having two coils to power the entire system, in this configuration, should deliver ~3X the total system wattage of a CT/SL/XL 70 alternator. Remember, the CL70 was a road-oriented model, marketed to an older audience; decent road lighting was essential even 50 years ago.

6V electrics limit your component choices circa 2020. That said, If you can come up with 6V LEDs and a 6V electronic flasher relay, you can fairly impressive lighting...using the OEM Honda alternator.

I just bought this XL 70 stator which turns out is the same part number as the later H models. Those CL winding's do look a heavier gauge. My plan is to see if my NOS S65 Nippon Denso flywheel will fit.

Late to the party but I'll share what I know and have seen in the wild.

CL70 - Everyone I've seen and touch had 4wires, and as Lukelaw pointed out, one of the leads should have a double bullet connector. Both coils are identical - even the dc resistance (when using an ohm meter) are identical. The wire ga. is a bit heavier as compared to a CT70. Another tidbit, the stamped numbers on the stator plate and flywheel is usually 1K10L. I even tested the timing advance on a CL70 Mitsu flywheel it noted the same amount of timing advance as a run of the mill HK0/HK1 Mitsu flywheel. The stamped number on a HK0 is 1K15L and 1K17L for a HK1. No difference in performance (CL vs. CT ) that I could see.

The only UK stator I've touched did have 5 wires, however, it had a pri coil, a lighting coil and a condenser. If needed, I have the resistance values that I can send your way if want to try to determine what you have.

All Mitsubishi Flywheels I have seen, including a couple from the UK have an ID of ~82.5mm, Hitachi is ~84.75mm, and ND is ~85mm.

Gary, I have an ND flywheel and it fits an H crank like a glove. Since the ID is close to an hitachi, I thought about trying it with a hitachi stator but never got around to it.

I'm attaching a pic of a CL70 that I had.

It's worth mentioning that the flywheel backspacing may be make/break. The magnets must align with the coils and without coil-to-flywheel contact, anywhere.

Excellant point. During my next break from Mr. Stihl, pretty sure I have that. Off hand, I know the 3 speed and 4 speed Hitachi are the same with the points height being the only difference. Will post the dimensions later this afternoon.

There is not much variation in the center line of the coils between ND, Hitachi and Mitsubishi.

As measured from the back mounting surface on the stator plates, the approximate centerline of the coils is:

Hitachi 3 sp & 4 sp*: ~19.25mm

Mitsubishi: ~18.0mm

ND: ~19.75mm

All stator plates measure ~7.0mm in thickness, so subtract 7mm to get the centerline on the front side.

The H plate has a lot of divots so my measurements are from non recessed points. Put another way, I treated it as if the front surface was flat like a K0 plate.
