Which of the following leaves a carbon trail in the distributor that can redirect flux to the wrong electrode and cause a misfire?
Flashover
Which magneto circuit creates a magnetic field when the poles align with the pole shoes?
Magnetic
The permanent magnet in the core only generates power when flux moves to the left in the core.
False
A magneto ignition system is a self-contained generator using magnets.
True
Which of the following tension systems eliminates the possibility of carbon trails with a brush-type distributor?
Low-tension
Which magneto circuit has enough voltage to ignite a spark for the spark plugs?
Secondary
Which magneto circuit’s flux is re-routed into the condenser when the contact breaker opens?
Primary
Which of the following is a function of an ignition harness?
Provides a conductor path for high voltages
