delivers the spark to the spark plug at
the precise moment to fire the
compressed air-fuel mixture.

Magneto-Ignition Systems:
Induced electrical current originates from a rotating magnet.
There are two types of Ignition Systems:
– With Breaker-points
– With/out Breaker-points

Magneto-Ignition Systems:
An understanding of each part of the
magneto-ignition system is required to
comprehend how the system delivers a
spark to the combustion chamber at eth
precise moment.
It will be most helpful to become familiar
with the general component parts.
