Cool...you can add a few aux parts and have a 12 v DC output for equipment other than lights..Pickup coils under the flywheel trigger the spark by way of little magnets. Timing is advanced by a mechanicle linkage attached to throttle linkage.

Hi digimortal...<br /><br />Yeah even with points. With points, turning the "plate" the points are mounted on changes the time the points are opened. Same with "CD" ignitions. Turning the "plate" the timing coil is mounted on, changes the time the timing coil tells the "power pack" to fire for a particular cylinder.
