Installation Tips

Joe Hunt Magnetos – Mag-Look Electronic Distributors

Standard Wiring Instructions (Using a Ballast Resistor):

Connect a 12V DC source (from a switched source) to one side of the ballast resistor.
Connect the single red wire from the magneto to the same terminal on the ballast resistor as the 12V DC input.
Connect the other terminal of the ballast resistor to the red wire on the dual harness coming from the magneto.
Connect the brown wire from the dual harness to the Tachometer input.

Note - If not using a tachometer, simply cap off the brown wire to prevent it from shorting or grounding.

Does the Mag-Look distributor use the same Vertex magneto cap as a regular Vertex Magneto? I have an original old brown Vertex cap I'd prefer to use.

I have a question about the wiring of this unit This unit is shown as the 2 wire unit but the wiring diagram attached is based on 3 wires with an extra loose red wire coming back from the resistor but this unit doesn't have the additional third loose red wire, just the ignition wire that runs through the resistor and the tachometer wire. I am interested in the 2 wire unit but would like to confirm wiring . Thanks John Bendigo, Australia
