Locate the wires comming from the stator check the color and number of wires. Next look at the plug going to the regulator. If the regulator has a double pigtail with one pigtail containing 3 yellow wires you deffinately have either a 8 or 10 pole. From the stator you will have 2 independant wires and a plug. The independant wires one is the trigger wire going to the pickup the other goes to the cdi box. The plug will have a white, yellow, and green wire. I have seen some of the older blades with 2 yellow wires which were 10 pole. Some of the later models use the 8 pole but with the small regulator with only one pigtail. So unless your regulator has the two pigtails of which one containing 3 yellow wires it will be hard to tell what you have without pulling the flywheel. One other exception is if you have an load bank you could load the charging system to see how many amps it will produce at full load. You will need a gy6 flywheel puller to pull the flywheel. TOM
