Originally the lawnmower engine used a magneto coil ignition system, magnetos are simple and very common in lawnmowers. The magneto is designed to produce a high voltage spike when influenced by a ...

A separate wire runs from the ignition distributor cap to each spark plug -- actually thick cables capable of carrying 40,000 volts or more. One end of each wire has a boot designed to fit snugly ...

Nope. That just confirms that the spark plug fires in open air. It doesn’t mean the ignition coil is strong enough to fire ...

In most modern vehicles, pretty much everything talks to one or more of perhaps dozens of electronic control modules, scattered around the vehicle to control everything from ignition timing and ...

I laugh about it today. But when I was a second-year apprentice and my foreman handed me a wiring diagram, I briefly panicked ...

Litz wire is constructed of individually insulated magnetic wires that are either twisted or braided into a uniform pattern to minimize power loss. The term litz wire is derived from the German word ...
