The magneto armature is attached to the crankcase next to the flywheel. It can be located by following the spark plug wire. This leads directly from the spark plug to the magneto.

I believe its .020 with a magneto.
air gap improperly set between fly wheel and magneto, bad coil, spark plug harness. Would not hurt to check the spark plug gap and ensure the connector end is tight
No, a magneto is what creates electricity to send to the spark plug. Without a magneto, any gasoline engine will not run because it will not have a spark.
To wire a basic magneto coil, connect one end of the coil to the spark plug and the other end to the magneto points or module. Ensure you have a good ground connection for the coil as well. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific magneto coil for proper wiring.
If you have access to a spark tester, use it. Otherwise, remove the spark plug, reconnect it to the spark plug wire, and rest the tip or threads on a good engine ground, AWAY from the spark plug hole. Attempt to start it, and watch for spark. If none, replace the spark plug and try again. If still no spark, the magneto coil may be faulty.
To test the magneto on a 1995 Kawasaki KLX 650, first, ensure the bike is off and the spark plug is removed. Use a multimeter set to measure resistance (ohms) to check the magneto's primary and secondary coils for continuity. Compare the readings to the specifications in the service manual; if the readings are outside the recommended range, the magneto may need to be replaced. Additionally, you can check for spark by connecting the spark plug back to the ignition coil and cranking the engine to see if it produces a spark.
Defective spark plug, plug wire, burnt valve, busted piston, bad rings, blown head gasket or cracked head.Defective spark plug, plug wire, burnt valve, busted piston, bad rings, blown head gasket or cracked head.
No--a voltage regulator would prevent a battery charging. Your dirtbike most likely has a magneto, feeding a coil or spark exciter. Test park by pulling spark plug, reinserting plug into plug wire, grounding electrode on motor head, and turning over engine. You should get a "blue," audible spark. A weak yellow spark indicates a bad coil; no spark is usually a failed magneto--quite often the shear-pin has been sheared, and the magneto is now out of timing. All of these fixes are pretty easy, a new coil being the most expensive.
It is a magneto, a little piece under the flywheel cowl with two metal tabs that almost touch the side of the flywheel. Embedded in the flywheel is a magnet that provides a signal to the magneto each time it comes around to fire the spark plug.
