if it has the old style 12 volt coil with points, the primary has 12 volts, the secondary, normally around 200 more windings than the primary therefore delivers approximately 20,000 volts to the spark plug.

The units that use an ignition control box or magneto type coil that works via a magnetic field generated as the flywheel magnets pass by the unit also delivers 20,000 volts.

Aftermarket battery powered coils claim to produce up to 40,000 volts but its a gimmick as it makes no difference in a low compression environment.
