8. IGNITION SYSTEM

The ignition system is a pointless flywheel magneto with automatic advancing characteristic.
Being different from the breaker point type ignition system, this system is completely free from such troubles
as starting-up failure due to dirty, burnt or corroded point surface.

8-2 BASIC THEORY
(a) Revolution of the flywheel generates electricity on
the primary side of the ignition coil (①), and the
base current I flows to the power transistor (②).

breaker point type ignition system.
(b) At lower engine revolution, when the flywheel reached the ignition point the low speed ignition timing
control circuit (③) operates to run the base current I
current I to bypass as current I

At this moment the power transistor (②) turns "OFF" and the current I
high voltage generated in the secondary coil (⑤) which produces sparks at the spark plug.
(c) At higher engine revolution, the advancing control circuit (⑥) operates at the ignition timing to run the
base current I to turn the signal transistor (⑦) "ON" allowing the current I

At this moment the power transistor (②) turns "OFF" and the current I
high voltage generated in the secondary coil (⑤) which produces sparks at the spark plug.
The operating timing of the advancing control circuit advances in accordance with the increase of engine
speed resulting in the advancing of ignition timing as shown in Fig. 8-2.
