I have heard many different explanations for the white wire coming from the 2 stroke engine.
Most all say don't use the White Wire cause the small coil can't support an accessory and will rob power from the engine.
But a lot of people have a different explanation for the white wire and what it was for.
Her's a few.
1) To power a 6v light, Just hook white wire to light
2) To charge a 6v battery through a Voltage Reg and power a 6v light
3) White wire is to be hooked to the kill switch
4) White wire is low voltage
5) White wire is high voltage
6) White wire used to be hooked to a separate coil for an ignition pick up, but now its just hooked to the main coil and confused for an accessory wire.
7) White wire was hooked to a separate coil to power accessory's But China never installed extra coil.
I'm asking this because I'm just curious If anyone knows for sure or dose anyone got any more theories of what the white wire is for?
Some engines and many new main coils,(mag, stator) for sale don't have a white wire.
I don't own a 2 stroke I'm just curious.
I kinda think it was suppose to charge a small 6v battery through a voltage reg and power lights. That makes the most sense to me. Maybe there were plans for a separate coil to make it all work? But you know China, to save a penny someone changes the plans and screws everything up
Anyone care to comment on the White Wire?
