MAGNETO
EC12
engine is equipped with
a
pointless Solid State Ignition system. This is a circuit breaker type
ignition divice which utilizes the power transister as an element for controlling electric unit.
This
system' is free from start-up failure due to dirty,
burnt
or
oxidized point surfaces, low ignition
efficiency because
of
moisture, rough breaker point surface and incorrect timing resulting from worn
mechanical parts.

IGNITION
SYSTEM
This
system is referred
as
T.C.I.
(Transistor Controlled Ignition) system.
As
illustrated
in
Fig.S-l.,
this
is
a simple system, consisting
of
a flywheel with magnetic fields,
an
ignition coil with built-in transistor, and lead wires to spark
plug
and stop switch.
