6. IGNITION SYSTEM

6-1TYPE OF IGNITION SYSTEM

EH12-2 employs the U. T. C. I. (Universal type Transistor Controlled Ignition) pointless ignition system. EH17-2 and EH25-2have the T. I. C. (Transistor, Igniter, Circuit) pointless ignition system.

AS optional parts, these ignition system may be implemented with lamp.coi1, charge coil and excitor coil.

6-2 BASIC THEORY

To ensure the easy startability of the engine, the step advancing ignition timing system is incorporated in

theignitioncoil.Thissystemenablestheengineto havebasicallytwodifferentignitiontimings according to the engine speed. Following are the explanation how the system works.

1)At lower speedof the engine

Rotation of theflywheelinducescurrent I,, asthiscurrentflowsthroughthebaseterminal of the power transister, it is activated and the current IZ starts flowing.

As the engine reaches the ignition timing, the ignition timing control circuit for the lower engine speed is activated and lets the currentL flow through the base terminalof the power transistor.

This generates the collector currentL which will bypass the current 11and abruptly shut off the current IZ because the power transistor is turned off.
