DANG...can we turn back the clock?
Note the colors of the wires, and you'll tell (easily by now) that you sure as heck did the wrong one!!
This is based on: My '00 200 lighting coil is on the TOP. AND, looking at:

for a '94 kdx250 generator, it's the TOP coil that looks like the lighting coil to me.
Still, the colors of the wires will tell you for sure. What...it's yellow off the top coil, right? Look at your headlight or light switch. Yellow, huh?
AND...the sparky coil is epoxied and covered, the lighting coil is simply varnished transformer wire.
There are going to be marks on the stator plate and the case for timing. In most cases the center mark will be used for 'standard' timing.
To tell for sure, you'll have to rig up a timing light with a duplicate mark on your flywheel or use the standard method of measuring spec distance from TDC to align the plate.
Shoot...just align the middle mark and go!
Torque the flywheel to spec!!! Use loctite (thread sealer). It's not hard to NOT get it tight enough (considering that the whole engine is hard to keep from moving), and then the woodruff key is going to shear at the MOST inopportune time!!
An air tool makes this whole process a snap. Or...an electric impact will work, too.
sorry :( You kinda stepped in it!
