Re: Honda clone gx200 electric key start

The coil included in the kit is only enough current to keep the engine running and a small bit of extra current to charge the battery. It's not sized or designed to power any auxiliary 12V devices. Any added coils that are powered by the flywheel magnet will be similar in output. If you attached a series of magnets on the flywheel and surrounded that with a series of wound coils (in effect making a stator/generator), I think you'd be pretty disappointed with the output. Like Gdetrailer recommends, using a car alternator will net you a few amps but don't expect big power from the combination. Thanks for your help, I am using this motor on a mini bike build. I know the RV forum isn't for that but you guys have the knowledge I need. I need enough amp to run a led headlight, taillight , signals and to charge battery. I could add a rectifier to have stable 12vdc. All the led lights are about 3amps.978Views0likes0CommentsRe: Honda clone gx200 electric key start

True, Well I plan to run a 12v battery and a few lights on a gx200 motor. The kit comes with a 3 amp coil, it has the mounting holes to add another to the moto but I want to know if the electric start module can handle another coil.991Views0likes0CommentsRe: Honda clone gx200 electric key start

Will need additional mounting bolts, not supplied. Will also need to trim the front cover to clear the nose of the starter and relocate the on/off switch. By Matt T. on June 2, 2015 Yes it fits like a glove,I'm still working on it so I should have it running soon Harbor freights are not clones, I have a Honda clone. I know the starter kits fit but this is all about the electrical portion. If anyone can answer the questions above your help is appreciated.973Views0likes0CommentsRe: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.
I am trying to find out .....with that electric start kit, does it put out DC? If so how? My current engine has NO transistor diode, so how would I hook that up with the eBay electric start kit? Also are you able to add another coil without modifying anything in the control box ?525Views0likes0CommentsHonda clone gx200 electric key start
Hi guys, new to the forum. I am trying to add electric start to my gx200 clone. I am trying to figure out if the eBay electric start kit puts out dc to charge battery? I also noticed it's only 3amps I guess to trickle charge the battery but I guess I won't be able to run any lights off that. I see I can ADD another coil but how does this affect the control box that came with a 3 amp coil?4.8KViews0likes10Comments
