Magneto Ignition System
As magnets in flywheel rotate past the magneto, the points close.
The magnetic flux of the magnets in the flywheel induces a current in the primary coil.
With current flowing in the primary circuit, a magnetic field develops around the primary coil.
This magnetic field also surrounds the secondary coil.
As the flywheel continues to rotate the breaker points open.
