magneto ignition??? ever heard of a ignition system that's is fired by the ignition control module? power to the coil from ignition and the ignition control module grounds the coil to fire at the proper time
I don't want to sound like I am picking on you because poster who are willing to help need to be encouraged
Cars run battery ignitions since around 1915
Mowers & some motorcycles run flywheel magneto ignitions .
Up until 1966 thesw were all controlled by points then Atom introduced their Hall Effect trigger which eliminated the points making these engines a lot more reliable ( and causing some overheating ) .
Husqvarna adopted then almost instantaneously , and Stihl follwed shortly after ( both had to increase cooling fins ) .
Mr Stratton who had sold out of B & S by then and owned OMG fitted them to his outboard engines as did Victa.Every one else waited till the patients expired in 1996 then they all introduced their own Hall effect triggers, originally as a stand alone box then the 50¢ control chip was potted into the coil and the coil went from being a $ 2 coil to a $ 40 module .
nearly all of them work on the negative side of the induction and the kill wire makes a ground contact to short out the trigger.
Applying anything over 2 mV to the kill wire blows the chip
Kohler & Kawasakai have ther engine manuals aviable as a free downoad off their web sites
Please download them and at least skim through them .
