IGNITION SYSTEM
The ignition system consists of a flywheel magneto, a CDI&Ignition coil unit and a spark plug.
As the rotor tatates, an AC current is induced in the coil. Then current induced in the ○,
A
direction charges up
the capacitor.
As the rotor rotates further, the current is induced in the reverse direction (dirction○,
B
). the current causes a
voltage applied through the ground to the gate of SCR.
As the SCR conducts, the energy which has been charged in the capacitor is instantaneously discharged
through the primary winding of the ignition coil.
