the 250 stators are iffy, dont make much power and you gotta be revving
they also rob power from your spark, fouls easier, takes away a bit of the easy starting


if i were to do it over again id buy a good lithium ion battery and charger, something like this

Paul, a Gen3 250 ignition has enough power to run lights, and possibly the fan too. You could add a small battery to "buffer" for when the fan runs in and out.

Just need to figure out the rest of timing set up.
See my 2003 cr250 ignition thread for what I've done so far, but I've been frozen out of getting anymore done myself.

I think that is the route I'm going to go. Give me a call @ 209-480-7900

Thanks Paul
