Google can probably explain it better than myself, but the half wave is just that….only half of the AC wave is converted to DC. The other half is sent to ground, if I’m not mistaken. It’s an inefficient system, but cheap. I believe the charging coil is split between 5 windings, 3 are output thru the yellow wire, which is intended to power the headlight. The other two are sent to battery. I believe a full wave system sends all AC power from both sides of the wave to the battery and all electrics are run thru the battery. If I have all this incorrect, I apologize.

The yellow wire and white wire both come from the charging coil. Only the green wire is ground. The yellow and white work in unison to create the power output.

I guess if it were mine, the first thing I’d do is pull the spark plug and check for compression. If that’s good, I’d dribble some fuel in spark plug hole, reinstall plug and see if it fires. If it does, you have a fuel delivery problem. If it doesn’t, about the only thing left to check would be timing.
