Economical Solid State Ignition for Small Engines 680580
The major deterrent to long term, service free life, of the conventional induction magneto used on small engines is the breaker point system. A multiple spark cycle, capacitor discharge magneto system, controlled by solid state switching, provides extreme long life operation without system deterioration. A simple electronic spark advance system can be included where necessary Modular construction affords ease of fabrication and provides design flexibility Consistent engine spark timing is assured throughout the life of engine and ignition system.
