OBJECTIVES

Ignition system- Its purpose is to

ignite the compressed air fuel mixture
in the engine combustion chambers.
This should occur at the proper time
for combustion to begin.

Question and
Answer

Ignition switch- connects or

disconnects the flow of electricity to
the ignition system.
Battery- The battery is a rechargeable
device that serves as a power supply
for the electrical parts when the
engine is stopped. When the engine is
running, it stores the used electricity.
Ammeter- It is used to measure the
ampere rate in the system and used to
determine if the battery is charging or
discharging.
Ballast resistor- controls the current
flow to the coil during normal
operation. The resistor reduces the
voltage available to the coil at low at
low engine speeds. It increases the
voltage at higher rpm when the
voltage requirement increases.
Ignition coil- Converts 12v battery
voltage to thousands of volts enough
to give a powerful spark.

Question and
Answer

To know the
function of
High tension
wires

Breaker points/Contact pointsUsed to close or open the primary

circuit. As the distributor shaft rotates,
it also causes a distributor cam to
rotate. The distributor cam causes a
small set of points to open and close
at each cam lobe position. When the
points are closed. The current flow in
the primary circuit causes the
magnetic field to build up in the coil.
Distributor- are used to distribute the
surges of high voltage available to the
coil tower.
High tension wires- are used to
connect the high voltage surge to each
spark plug. They are arranged in the
firing order of the engine.

EVALUATION

Question and
Answer

Question and
Answer

Spark plug- provide a predetermined

gap within the combustion chamber so
that each time a high voltage surge is
delivered, a quality spark will occur in
the combustion chamber.
