Does it have electric start?

if it has a stator or any type of charging system then yes

Well, either it has a starter, or it doesn't, no?

Do you own the motor or thinking of buying one
if you are asking if it can be done, the answer is yes. if you are asking if they all come with the capability of running lights as far as having the charging coil, then the answer is no. some have come with the charging coil, but most do not as far as i know. if you have wires that protrude from under the flywheel, chances are you do have the coil.

the easiest way to run lights is it has a electric start, if it doesnt, well then good luck finding a kit and rigging it
not according to baja. they say that the standard one magnet flywheel says it will make the light work on their minis. the one magnet magnetizes the whole flywheel. and the lighting coil mags you reference, sit at the same height as the insteps on the fly should act as mags. the only reason i see needing the extra mags is that you get too weak a pulse on the lighting coil.
Well.. i'd like to hear that work. I would imagine they'd say that because all of their mini's with the clone come with the light to begin with. So that means all of their motors come with the charging magnet flywheels.
I used a HF motor on a Baja and i wanted to use the lighting coil but the block wasnt tapped for it. Also i saw that the blown engine that i got with the bike had a cracked flywheel (i should have put it on and turned it to 9000 so i could prove they are dangerous lol.. )
So no light it was.. i'll use it somewhere else.

Go here, and scroll down (about 1/4 the way down the page) until you get to "flywheels and fans." Everything you need... WILL it work on a clone? I don't know, I've never done it or even removed my flywheel to look to see if the charge coil could bolt up. If it works, lemme know because I'm interested.

Hmm... just compared. NR-Racing's 10 amp coil is 109 bucks... the engine cost less than that. Baja motorsports only wants 10 bucks? There HAS to be some huge difference between the two.
baja is trying to sell their minis. nr is for aftermarket. aftermarket means money for the most part. i have found them elsewhere for 40, and a complete electric start (sans battery and rectifier) on ebay for 74.99 plus shipping. i believe they are clones.

I know I'm a noob here, so I hope I'm not jumping into something I'm not quite understanding, but I'm coming from modifying Power Wheels (adding lights, etc)...
Why not just slap a battery on the kart and run the lights directly off that? Seems way over-complicated to try and power them off the motor, especially if you are going with LED lights. LEDs will last for hours at a time on a 12v, 12ah battery, which you can pick up for $30 or so off Fleabay. Sure, you'd need to charge it once in a while, but unless you were going to be riding all night, it would provide more than enough juice to power you for a while without all the hassle of rigging up the motor.
