Unusual question but hope experts here can answer in less time than 3 day google search. :)

Have 1988 (according to serial # 00601 818081) DT6 that we are getting running after extended storage (dry-inside) Plan to install new h20/pump kit and at least disassemble and clean carb before first start try...

Motor is to be used as aux on small extended cruise sail vessel. One of the problems onboard is how to generate power (12v) underway. Search has revealed "lightcoil" was originally available on this engine, assume 12v output to charge batteries or to run lights directly. Current status (so far) is suzuki part #32200-99100 is obsolete (really?). Ignition coils are readily available.

Question #1 If I can find one, what is output of "suzuki 32200-99100"? (volts/amps or watts)
Question #2 Documentation on original electrical schematics anyone? ('88 DT6 w/ optional "light-coil")?
Question #3 Source for "obsolete" Suzy parts, oem or aftermarket (especially the afore mentioned light coil)?
Question #4 Seems as if '84-02 DT6 are verrrrrrrry close. How close are the mag-coils swaps between 84-85 parts and 86-02 parts?

Still lookin' as we speak, but sure would be happy to hear from someone intimately involved with these small horse engines (got one in the hot-tub?)

TIA

Update: Lightcoil (#32220-98110) is available all over.... First part # was for full magkit including misc unneeded parts)
Anyway, questions 1 and 2 still apply.

TIA for any input, \
The search continues.......

You can probably install any number of rectifiers to turn a lighting coil into a charging system-------------Look into a rectifier from Johnson / Evinrude / Mercury and others.-----Total output would likely be around 5 amps maximum at full throttle.
 
Thanks racerone...... seems I saw a rectifier listed in the electrical parts for another small horse suzy. Great reminder, and 60W or so is more than enough to justify the cost/pita involved in modifying existing system. 1/2 of that would be ok.

Tks again

Ahhh knew it was out there somewhere....
32800-95D01 Suzuki Rectifier Assy.
Used 1985 thru 2010

Little pricey but I guess if they been using it for 25 yr must work well.
Still, with coil and rectifier + wire and misc hdwr comes to round $175

Tks again for the input..
Mark this one solved.
