ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine having a flywheel attached to the crankshaft externally of the crankcase. A permanent magnet is affixed to the flywheel proximate the periphery thereof and has a flat exposed face toward the crankcase. The flywheel has fan blades attached thereto for generating a current of air which flows generally radially away from the flywheel and is directed across the engine cylinder by a blower housing. A solid state ignition module is attached to the crankcase axially spaced from the flywheel toward the crankcase so as to be situated substantially free of the air flow generated by the flywheel. The ignition module has a ferromagnetic core with legs extending parallel to the crankshaft and lying in a plane perpendicular to a radius of the crankshaft. The core legs each have a flat end face disposed parallel to the flat face of the permanent magnet, and are adjustable with respect thereto.
