Most ignition systems will not exceed 1.0 amps of current draw
Current is measured in amps.
Current used for an ignition system is not relevant to engine size
Current draw on an ignition system depends on a number of things
1. spark plug & ignition leads condition
2. fuel mixture or ratio of fuel to air, 14.7 to 1 is the ideal mix
3. engine temp
4. engine compression
these are the most common variables.

How much km is 18hp?
sss
How much oil does a 18hp Briggs and stratton twin ll hold?
48 ounces without filter change. 52 ounces with filter change. Do not overfill. I recommend you use Synthetic oil in any air cooled engine.
How much horsepower does a Yamaha warrior have?
18HP stock. The Raptor has around 23 because of better carb etc.
What is the best Outboard Motor?
the 15hp murc is the best relay an 18hp and are cheap new i bought my 15hp murc with and 18hp relay and go it for $1800 brand new and runs the best i have ever seen and much faster and cheaper than Yamaha
Main advantages and disadvantages between compression ignition and spark ignition engines?
A spark ignition engine is a gasoline engine. A compression ignition is a diesel engine.basic difference between compression and spark ignition engine is ,compression ignition is a diesel engine. spark ignition is a gasoline engine.diesel engines compress the fuel to a point where the fuel explodes, thus giving ignitiongasoline does not compress to explosion, therefore it needs need a spark to ignite the fuelspark ign. is gasoline. comp. ign. is diesel.A compression ignition engine is typically a diesel. It compresses air so much that the heat from the compression is enough to cause the fuel to ignited once injected. A spark ignition engine is your average gasoline-burning car engine. It uses a spark plug to ignite the air/fuel mixture instead of relying on compretssion ignition.A compression ignition engine uses very high compression of the air to heat it self up and the fuel is injected into the cylinder which self ignites (a diesel engine is a compression ignition engine).A spark ignition engine uses a lower compression ratio and requires the use of a spark to ignite the fuel (a petrol engine is a spark ignition engine).Because the oils used for a diesel have a higher calorific value, they have a better fuel economy, They also do not need extra energy usage to keep the engine running, unlike the energy that is lost to power the spark plugs from the generator/alternator which is taken from the useful energy produced by the engine.
What is a ignition relay fuse and what are signs of a bad fuse?
it is a fuse that protects the ignition relay from too much current. a bad fuse would cause a no start, and if you pull the fuse, its center core will be burnt out if it is bad.
How much does a new ignition lock cost for a 1999 plymoth voyager?
If it's a 3.3L engine then about 35 bucks from Advance auto.
What does the stator do on a outboard motor?
the stator on an outboard functions much like the alternator on you car. its sole purpose is to supply the ignition system with power after the engine is started and charges the battery when the engine is running
What is the difference between a small engine ignition and a large engine igniton system?
A small engine such as the one found in a lawnmower uses the cord pull to turn an iron plate through a magneto inducing a current thats sent to the plug. Large engines however have a much more complicated system, that I couldnt begin to type out on my little iphone keypad. They use about a gazillion differents parts such as the ignition, distributor cap, distributor rotor, battery, etc., etc. Dig around on wikipedia enough ans your sure to find what youre looking for.
How much horsepower and how fast does a XL 185 s go?
i have a xl185 manual and it says that the motor produces 18hp stock. that equates to a top speed of approximately 70mph.
Will it improve performance much if you were to replace a bad knock sensor will it shorten your engine life?
a knock sensor will retard or advance ignition spark, improving gas mileage and will not shorten engine life , if any thing it will extend engine life.
Why would a 1991 Chevy Blazer keep burning the ignition wire off the alternator?
The 1991 Blazer has a current draw causing the wire to burn. You will need to trace the wiring out to find what is drawing too much current.
