ALTERNATOR CHARGING-BATTERY IGNITION SYSTEM (15 AMP SHOWN)
system. The 15 amp unit is slightly larger, physically, than the 10 amp unit. Other main differences are found
in the ceramic magnet ring and the alternator stator with more posts and windings which accounts for the
higher output than the 10 amp system.
The ceramic ring is permanently assembled with roll pins and compression locking pins on the flywheel
first and is then charged magnetically. Because of this and the fact that special tools are required to install the
ring, it cannot be ordered or serviced as a separate item. The ceramic material allows better and more
complete alignment of magnetic poles of the electrons which thus produces an extremely high strength
magnetic field. While ceramic magnets are very strong, the material is brittle and can crack or break if struck
with a hard object or when dropped. If the magnets are badly damaged, a new flywheel, complete with new
ceramic ring is required - the replacement flywheel must be charged on special equipment at the factory just
prior to shipment. When working on engines with this system, avoid any metallic chips or objects that could
be attracted to and stick on the magnets.
Two different types of ignition circuits are used in conjunction with the 15 amp battery charging systems.
They are the battery ignition and breakerless ignition circuits. Magneto type ignition is not available with 15
amp systems. The ignition circuits are described in the foregoing section. The stator used with the battery type
ignition circuit has 18 posts but only 16 are wound. On breakerless ignition circuits, these two extra
