[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 52246, member: 2806"] In fact, this is how the new BTH magnetos are made. They use a body that looks like a KVF which disguises the fact they are actually an E.T. ignition system, with the low voltage generated in the housing and remote HT coils, exactly as an ET's rotor/stator system does it. The Fairbanks-Morse rotating magnet magnetos for Harleys (and clones made by Hunt, ARD, and others) cast the magnets asymmetrically to give the optimum timing of the magnetic field for the 45-deg. V of that engine. But, while a more compact design could be made today using modern SmFeCo rare earth magnets, a properly magnetized old fashion KVF will do just fine. [/QUOTE]
