[AT] Coating for small engine mag

[charlie hill]

         The winding wires in an electric motor or generator
are insulated with a thin coat of lacquer.  If it wasn't there
they would short circuit and the motor wouldn't run.

That's why I wonder if a coat paint would interfere...

mag
I've can't ever recall encountering a flywheel magnet or a magnet inside
a magneto that was coated---must be a reason.
