odd magneto query??? reverse polarity?

what exactly is reverse polarity in respect to different magnetos?

What??? By the way, how does a motor with no pee hole cool itself?

Two different magnetos?... I haven't a clue.

However, all magneto magnets have two poles, a north pole and a south pole. The "north" pole swinging past the coils would be a positive polarity, the second "south" pole would be as negative polarity. At least that's how I've always looked at it.

Why do you ask?

not sure about the original question. don't know what it acyually is asking. just thought I might try another avenue to find out how a motor with no pee hole cools itself

Thousands upon thousands of outboard engines were manufactured before the water telltale feature came into existence. The telltale was just an added feature (late 1970's) to visually allow the boater to have an idea of the water pressure being exerted via the water pump. It has nothing to do with the actual cooling of the engine.

just thought u might know

but where does the heated water go? or how does it cool the motor?

im doing a " just for fun" conversion to electronic modules on a 58 10hp,its all wired up ( just two wires! lol) per coil. but getting no spark. the trouble shooting guide says " an erratic spark or no spark at all may be due to reverse polarity of coil or flywheel magnets".
maybe a diode in those little modules??? electricity isnt my strong point!

its an open system.....cold water in.....hot water out . just no tell tale to confirm it.

Tim reverse the wires and it will work. That is a common problem on them.

hot water has to go somewhere. pump would lock cause water aint movin...................ten pounds of **** in a five pound bag???????? just don't add up

didn't mean to hijack ya. thought about ur prob and think maybe u switched some wires(polarity)

Ron your question is too general. Perhaps start your own thread if you have questions about cooling systems. A model reference would help us describe it in detail. There are many different varieties.
