Author Topic:   Ignition Timing on Outboards with Automotive Alternators

jimh posted 06-18-2008 01:21 AM ET (US)
On outboard motors which use an automotive alternator, how is the ignition timing derived? Is there a coil and flywheel magnet arrangement similar to that used by outboards with permanent magnet alternators? Or is a crankcase position sensor used?
