final viewing.

Ignitors, and I love Old Iron. This site is dedicated to the

This page deals with the use of Ignitors, (that's with an "o",
not igniters with an "e", if you want to know the difference, just
"Trust Me") as a means of identifying the manufacturer of a particular
engine. Some companies built and sold engines to many contractors who
badged the engines and claimed to be the manufacture, however, they
rarely went to the trouble to re-engineer the ignition system. So if
you are trying to find parts for that extremely rare "Rollscanardly"
that no one has ever heard of, it might help to find that it was built
by Hercules, Nelson Bros. Waterloo or some other builder of fairly
common engines. This page does not deal with Magneto Brackets,
Ignitor Plugs, Plugoscilators or any other contraption other than Low
Tension Ignitors, Rule of Thumb, if a magneto is in it, on it or even
close to it, it ain't on this page. One more thing, if your engine has
a spark plug that is screwed into a plate that is in turn bolted to the
head or the side of the cylinder, you are more than likely missing the
original ignitor, it was a very common trick, back in the day, to throw
away the ignitor and rig a "Wipe" timer on the engine and use a Model T
buzz coil and a spark plug.
