Scintilla Magneto Manual

The heart of the magneto is the rotating magnet, usually featuring two, four, or remedy poles. As the engine turns the magneto shaft, the magnetic field reverses through the soft iron core of the coil assembly. This shifting magnetic field induces an alternating current (AC) in the primary winding of the coil. The Electrical Circuit

Magnetos generate dangerous voltages independently of the vehicle or equipment battery. Treat every magneto as live. scintilla magneto manual
