Starter and Ignition

Video of the Day

A Homelite starter with an automatic rewind function gets the Super EZ running. Once it has been started, an electronic magneto drives the ignition system by sending power through a coil with a 0.015 inch air gap to a Champion DJ6J spark plug with a 0.025 inch gap. The Super EZ's ignition timing is fixed.
