prescribed timing position. Both right and left sets of breaker points should open at the same instant, proper magneto-to-engine timing exists, and all phases of magneto operation are synchronized. Some early engines had what was referred…

optimum engine performance. As a result, engines equipped with FADEC require neither magnetos nor manual mixture control. This microprocessor-based system controls ignition timing for engine starting and varies timing with respect to engine speed and manifold pressure. [Figure…

ignition system causes more common irregularities. Moisture can enter ignition system units through cracks or loose covers, or it can result from condensation. Breathing, a situation that occurs during the readjustment of the system from low to high atmospheric pressure ... result in drawing in moistureladen air. Ordinarily, the heat of the engine is sufficient to evaporate this moisture, but occasionally the moist air condenses as the engine cools. The result is an appreciable moisture accumulation which causes the insulation materials…

older radial engine ignition systems, the booster coil assembly consists of two coils wound on a soft iron core, a set of contact points, and a condenser. [Figure 4-31] The booster coil is separate from the magneto ... which battery voltage is applied when the magneto switch is placed in the start position, or automatically applied when the starter is engaged. The secondary winding, which contains several times as many turns as the primary coil…
