Thanks Ty,
Will try and load a photo soon.

Just to clarify, should the metal layers or laminations of the e-core/armature on which the black moulded ignition coil sits be insulated so that it forms one continuous path from one end to the other (and then to ground), or does the e-core/armature act just like one clump of metal, with no resistance from one point to another?

Hope the way I have described it is understandable.

Thanks
Steve

I think I just found my answer...the armature just needs to be a piece of iron capable of having a magnetic field induced within it by the magnets in the flywheel? The laminations in the iron are to minimise losses, but not absolutely critical?
