A magneto is an electrical power generating device which operates without the need for a battery to energize the coils. A magneto uses permanent magnets to induce an electrical current, which is "pulsed" Direct Current [DC]. These pulses are controlled [by "points" in the "old" days] to "time" the pulses to the coil primary winding coil, which the creates the high voltage ignition pulse which is delivered to the spark plug[s].

What is the difference between a magneto and a coil?
An ignition coil requires external electrical power. A magneto requires only mechanical power to create an ignition spark. If an engine HAS no electrical power (lawnmower, tiller, chain saw) then a coil would not function.
What does the scooter ignition coil do?
The ignition coil sends power to the spark plug at the right time to ignite the fuel. If it goes bad then the scooter wont run.
What is the function of magneto coil?
magneto coil is replacement supply voltage for lights and others when bike runs, it also acts as a charger for battery.
How does a motor generate spark to the spark plugs?
Answer One of three ways ,magneto , coil, high energy ignition.magneto use's magnets to energize the coil, coil use's the battery's power run through the coil then the points open and the spark is released. H.E.I. use's battery power in much the same way as the coil but the coil is internal and the points are electronic. CheckSpark can safely and quickly check all three type,s.
Where can you find the coil on my 49cc suzuki scooter?
on the internet.
In a nonelectronic small engine ignition system which of the ignition components is energized by the power source first?
In a nonelectronic small engine ignition system, which of the following ignition components is energized by the power source first?
Craftsman 4.5 no spark?
You probably need a new coil/magneto. Follow the plug wire to it. If it's a magneto you can try a little sand paper to clean off the flywheel magnet and the magneto points of contact. They aren't touching the magneto so you can get some paper in there. If it's a coil, you will need a new one.
What is mmf?
Full-form Of MMF: MAGNETO MOTIVE FORCEDefinition Of MMF ( Magneto motive Force ): Just as electromotive force ( emf ) is necessary to pass current in electric circuit, magneto motive force ( mmf ) is necessary to establish flux in the magnetic circuit. Magneto motive force is the multiplication of current flowing through the coil and the number of turns of the coil.Unit of magneto motive force ( mmf ) is ampere turn.Thus, it should be understood that the magneto motive force can be increased by increasing the number of turns in the coil or by increasing the current flowing through the coil or by increasing both.CommentThe unit of measurement of magnetomotive force is actually the ampere, although it is frequently spoken as 'ampere turn' to prevent its confusion with electric current.
What does a ATV magneto do?
A magneto on an ATV works like an alternator or generator on a car. It creates power, which re-charges your battery and provides power to the electronics of the ATV.
How can you tell if the magneto in a riding lawn mower is bad?
does it have spark to the plug if not the part you might check would be the coil or the electronic start module probably the latter if it is a newer mower or of ots older then the coil magneto usually dont go bad could be a bad gap between the coil and the magneto if its an older mower could be a bad set of points if its an older mower point gap could be bad spark plug could be bad as I don't know exactly what the lawn mower is doing hard to tell what is wrong

06 banshee magneto has power but no spark at plug?
The magneto has 2 separate outputs - 1 to the ignition and 1 to the accessories (AKA Lights). If you are sure that you have power coming from both parts, then you need to check your switches (On/off switch and Key Switch). If they test OK, then check your spark plug wires for continuity. If that is OK, then you need to check your coil (There are coil tests on youtube). If your coil is functional, then the last thing to replace is the CDI. Unfortunately, there aren't any tests for that. It is either good or bad. You can and should check the pickup gap for the CDI - (Distance between the pickup and the flywheel at a predetermined point - typically a thicker or raised point on the flywheel).
