DESCRIPTION

The

Ignition
coil
is

of
an
oil

filled

type
The

ignition

coil
case
is
mted

with
oil
which
has

good
insulating
and

heat

radiating
characteristics

The

ignition
coil
has
a

greater
ratio
between
the

primary
and

secondary
windings
to

step
up
the

battery

voltage
to
the

high
voltage
to
cause

stronger
sparks
to

jump
the

spark

plug
gap

The

cap
is

made
of

alkyd
resin

which
offers

high

resistance

to
electric

arc
and
increased
insulation

The
resistor
in

the

ignition
coil
circuit

helps
produce

strong
sparks
from

starting
to

high
speed
full

power

operation

The
internal
resistor
limits

to
a
maximum
safe
flow
of

the

primary
current

through
the
coil
and
distributor

contact

points
Thus

it

protects
the
contact

points

during

slow

speed
operation
when

they
are

closed
for

long

intervals

The

ignition
coil
and
resistor

should
be
handled
as
a

matched
set
