Briggs and Stratton Ignition Systems
questions well answered
In a contact type ignition system, the spark plug is part of which circuit? - ANS ✔✔Secondary
Insulators surround a wire and prevent the loss of heat from the wire when electrical energy is
traveling through the wire. - ANS ✔✔FALSE
Electricity is similar to water in that both will follow the path of least resistance. - ANS ✔✔TRUE
One example of a moving magnetic field is physically moving the magnet as in the rotating
flywheels used on most small engines. - ANS ✔✔TRUE
It is highly unlikely that an armature air gap set too wide will prevent an engine from starting
and running. - ANS ✔✔TRUE
Although often used in radios as amplifiers, transistors are generally defined as simple,
electronic switches. - ANS ✔✔TRUE
The minimum cranking speed for the Magnetron Electronic Ignition System is 250 rpm. - ANS
✔✔TRUE
Spark plugs wear because the constant blast of electrical energy at the electrodes removes
material. Eventually the edges of the center electrode become rounded off. - ANS ✔✔FALSE
As the spark plug center electrode wears down, the voltage requirement to fire the plug
increases. - ANS ✔✔TRUE
