|
Term
| Describe how to set the distributor timing on a bendix magneto |
|
Definition
| gear on magnet lines up with specific tooth on distributor |
|
|
Term
| How should the points on a magneto look in a visual inspection they are good |
|

|
Term
|
Definition
| When the breaker point spring doesn't have enough tension |
|
|
Term
| What would happen if the impulse coupling spring broke while the engine was running |
|
Definition
| Engine would fire in the regard position |
|
|
Term
| How does a booster coil work |
|
Definition
| Current goes into primary winding producing magnetism which opens the contact points then shutting off the magnetism and sending a current into the secondary winding and sending a spark to all the high tension leads |

Term
| Describe the difference between a high tension system and a low tension system |
|
Definition
Position of the winding
Low-remote
High-inside |
