White wire succses story!!!!

[Rioexxo]

It seems to me that that "white wire" is just a tapped part of the winding on the magneto.
That said, I'd use caution loading it down with a bulb, simply because it might tend to stress out the magneto, causing other problems.
I wonder if an exact schematic of the magneto windings can be had from the manufacturer, stating the design purpose of that wire.

I agree about stressing out the magneto..... this should be a source of information about the engine only. it was designed for simplicity, after all.
that said...
I would like to use readily available 12v systems to 'light my way'. It makes sense economically and mechanically.
