The charging system used on the 6v C90 super cubs is pretty straightforward and consists of a battery (to store electricity), an alternator (to generate electricity) and a rectifier (which converts the alternating current created by the alternator into the direct current needed by the battery). Here is the wiring diagram for the charging system:...

The job of the ignition system is to produce the spark that ignites the fuel/air mixture in the engine combustion chamber. It consists of a power source (either battery or a generator), a switching device to start and stop current flow at set intervals (contact breaker points or an electronic switch), a device to...

Electricity
Learning the basics of automotive electrical systems, even the simple system used in the Honda super cub, was something I approached with a little trepidation.
My schoolboy science got me as far as grasping that the electrons in conductive materials like metal can “jump” between atoms, displacing others in the process and thereby causing...
