Ha! I own a few plaid flannel shirts. But sadly no chainsaws or snow blowers. Maybe I’m not a true midwesterner. I WAS born in Iowa however. Would that give me a pass?
RE the rotor. I have seen recently on Allen Milyard’s Fbook Page, on his latest build a velocette V twin he used, and excuse if I get the spelling wrong, Neodynemium magnets to replace the coil on the rotor. Of course this then makes the whole issue a PMA, quite why he has done this is down to him.
For those of you with a technical bent, his web site and Fbook Page are well worth a look.
Furthermore this site demonstrates the art of ingenuity is alive and well.

Think I'm kidding?
So... looks like the final configuration will be 450 turns of 22ga. That still fits (barely) into the rotor and comes out at 5.1ohms.
I'm already looking for my bubble wrap and packaging tape . Kansas City eh ?
