2. How do you get the spark? Large engines get electricity via a battery and alternator combination. Lawnmowers for example, get electricity from a magneto. You need electricity to create the spark for the combustion process.

3. How do you get the spark? A magneto is an electrical generator that creates periodic high-voltage.

4. How do you get the spark?

6. A magneto consists of five parts: –an armature –primary coil –secondary coil –electronic ignition –permanent magnets attached to the flywheel

7. How do you get the spark? When the magnets spin past the armature, they induce a magnetic field. High voltage is achieved between the second primary coils to reach the voltage for the engine to function properly.
