31 forum posts	Can any one tell me where I can find information on installing electronic ignition in miniature i/c engines.Have found several web sites but they all seem to think every body understands electronic jargon. I'm surely not alone in this, village idiot type speak please.

So that means the magnet can be glued into a small hole in say the flywheel boss or timing gear and the sensor to a non moving part of the engine. If you want to be able to advance & retard the timing then the sensor is best on an adjustable disc that can be rotated around the engine axis, Thats what I did on my hit & miss engine. You then just run a earth from the engine to circuit board and a plug lead to the plug. Here is another site with some set up instructions J
