Yamaha Outboard Charging coil?

[C08]

I have a 5HP 2 stroke that I am selling and I have just been asked if it has a charging/lighting coil. It is a 5CS 6E3 model. The ignition is marked CDI and there is an electrical connection block but with no visible output wires, or plug or obvious connections. Any ideas on this?
I am not normally so ignorant about my kit but I bought this as a get you home engine and after tank testing it ran ok wrapped it up, put it in a locker and it has travelled about in comfort for three year or so.

I seem to remember(it was a long while ago now) That when I bought one of those, the lighting/ charge coil was an optional extra and it cost me extra. If I'm correct then the only way to tell is to have a look inside.

Also it is a total waste of space, time and money.

Now that we have LEDs they may prove more effective at coping with demand, but yes in their day they were inadequate for anything much more than lights while underway. Don't forget you also need the, optional, rectifier and regulator to do more than direct lighting.

As far as I can determine the lighting coil was an optional extra.

If fitted it will be out of sight under the flywheel . A clue to its existence will be a second bundle of (2) wires, probably green, coming from beneath the flywheel in addition to the bundle ( of 4 wires) connecting to the CDI

( what you might find referred to as the "charge coil" is in fact the charge coil for the CDI)

Yamaha lighting coil.

Thanks vics-I was hoping for your input. There are 4 wires coming from the rotor, brown, black, red/white stripe, green/white stripe so I guess no lighting coil.
There is a strange plastic curved tray or holder., see photo. Would that be for a toolroll?

Page 133 shows the wiring. Brown wire from the charge coil down to CDI unit but not for lighting (as Vic says). I think the lighting coil is a seperate coil not shown on here with green wires and it was an extra to be fitted when ordering.
