ABSTRACT:
A microprocessor-controlled inductive ignition system uses a magneto inductive ignition circuit at engine starting speeds, and a microprocessor-controlled ignition circuit at engine running speeds. The microprocessor senses the ignition firings, computes the time between successive ignition firings, and disables the magneto inductive ignition system when the engine speed is greater than a predetermined cut-off speed. The ignition system enables an engine with a recoil starter to be started if the battery is low or if an alternator is used to power the microprocessor. At engine running speeds, the ignition system achieves a greater amount of timing advance than achievable with an inductive ignition system alone, thereby increasing engine efficiency.
