Best Answer

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.
