[QUOTE="kirrbby, post: 170892, member: 3972"] I wanted to unwind this coil for a couple reasons I guess... One was just to see how they did it.. answer all of the questions that can only be answered by unwinding for a look. From here we can figure out how it "works". If someone wanted to duplicate the coil as closely as possible to stock...this tells you what it takes. It doesn't HAVE to be done this way to work...there's more than one way to find a good result...lights. But there's only one way for a hard core purist who wants to keep his bike pure. I would like to have a Honda drawing of this Mitsubishi stator to post here in this part of the thread. But I do not think one exists...only drawings of the Hitachi version. If I can decipher how Honda WOULD HAVE drawn it...if they did, I'll scribble one myself. More on that later. I don't like how Mitsubishi spliced in the center taps without soldering them. I'm surprised these stators don't fail more often. If I were to duplicate this coil, I'd solder those connections. If I were rewrapping a complete Mitsubishi stator from scratch, I wouldn't do that connection between the two coils. I think I'd just start with a ground loop on the leading end of the winding...on both coils. Or, a soldered ground connection...for the sake of simplicity. racerx, your idea of wrapping a 12v, full wave, floating ground, Mitsubishi stator...from scratch, is on my list for my Scrappy Softail. We're gonna see how that works out, eventually. [/QUOTE]
