the arm that is going up and down is the igniter trip arm it trips the igniter and when that is tripped there is a set of points inside that flip and create a spark similar to a spark plug almost all the engines built at this time had this set-up a igniter to provide the ignition and a low tension magneto to provide the igniter's spark. like i said almost all engines had this set-up but different company's had different mechanisms to flip the igniter's.
can someone explain this ignition to me? ive never had one apart, i know they are low voltage, but what is the flicky thing doing? what goes on inside? thanks!
