ABSTRACT:
A portable emergency ignition unit which will enable a person to get a vehicle to a service shop when the electronic ignition, or the points, condenser or coil has failed, or when the ignition key has been broken or lost. This portable ignition unit has solid state integrated circuit and transistor which give the unit a more reliable and hotter spark. The circuitry comprises a simple hookup of one lead wire going to the ground terminal of the battery, another lead wire going to the positive terminal, a third lead wire going to the starter solenoid and lead wires going to the distributor. To start the engine, the starter button on the emergency unit is depressed so that 60,000 volts is applied by the ignition unit to the rotor inside the distributor cap, which voltage the rotor will distribute to the spark plugs in firing order sequence. Then when the starter button is released, a voltage of 30,000 volts is continued to the rotor and thereby to the spark plugs. This enables the engine to run at normal engine speed to enable the vehicle to be driven to a repair shop or for whatever emergency need is required.
