Thanks MF, Max and BT,
What I found strange was that one of the coils had a tick on it and I do that to a coil if it was on a motor that had spark before I pulled it off.
Yes BT, kill wire disconnected. The flywheel was an option I was thinking of, magnets were good, but it was the only other thing I could think of. The state of the motor didn't look too flash so I just said to him much simpler to just find another motor for it. He was going home to take the motor off.
