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.

What is magneto starter?
According to Wikipedia, a magneto starter, also called the ignition magneto, provides current or pulses for the ignition system of a spark-ignition engine, like fuel engines.
What are the components parts of starting system?
Battery, kickstarter, ignition, ignition coil,
What is Ignition Coil gap setting toro mower?
For most small 4 cycle cylinder engines using a magneto and a coil to provide electricity to feed the spark the gap is .006 to .010.
Will a bad ignition switch shut down the electrical system on a 1994 Chevy truck?
A bad ignition switch can shut down a vehicle's electrical system. Ignition switches have been the cause of a major recall by General Motors.
What is the Periodic inspection for a dwell setting in ignition system with led?
No

Who has a circuit diagram for a magneto ignition system?
i have u welcome to it robinhailes@yahoo.com
What is the function of the P lead in the magneto system?
If the P-lead is grounded, the magneto doesn't generate spark. Basically it turns the engine on and off.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Can you use magneto in place of IQ 700 ignition module?
yes you can after all that was used way before the IQ
What is magneto in Honda bike?
its another name for exaurst system

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
What is the magneto gap on 97cc baja?
The magneto gap on a 97cc Baja engine, typically found in Baja Motorsports vehicles, refers to the distance between the magneto (or flywheel) and the ignition coil. This gap is crucial for proper ignition timing and engine performance. Generally, the recommended gap is around 0.010 to 0.030 inches, but it's best to consult the specific owner's manual or service guide for precise specifications. Adjusting this gap can help ensure optimal spark generation and efficiency.
