On things like cars you usually have a belt driven alternator to provide electricity to the ignition and all electric functions. But if you have something simpler, like a chain saw or a small outboard engine, then you can have magnets in/on the flywheel that pass by coils to generate electricity for the spark plugs. And that's a magneto ignition system.

In a nonelectronic small engine ignition system, which of the following ignition components is energized by the power source first?
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.
Does a Yamaha 1200xlt jet ski have an alternator?
Technically no. It has a magneto, which is a different way of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy that makes the ignition system simpler. But the net result is the same as if it had an alternator.

Does a small engine flywheel need to be timed?
Yes, on the crankshaft there should be a "slot" called a keyway, and a matching slot on the flywheel, mate a key in the slot of the flywheel and crankshaft, and then your flywheel should be timed, also on a magneto ignition system, makesure the magneto has the proper gap, called "armature air gap" usualy if you put a buossness card in there is a good starting point
The magneto air gap is a precision measurement thats taken between the?
The magneto air gap is a precision measurement that's taken between the edge of the flywheel and the ignition coil armature. The flywheel and the crankshaft are held together in alignment by the flywheel key.
