[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 52619, member: 161"] Dear Robert, You are a brave "guinea pig" if you ran you magneto without the H.T. leads earthed.:) I personally would not run the magneto or any ignition system without the leads earthed for many of the reasons stated in previous posts in this thread. The new BT-H doesn't have a wasted spark as there is only one "trigger" magnet on the rotor arm. Re: Magneto Two quotes from the internet. [U]science.howstuffworks.com/[B]magneto[/B]-info.htm says:[/U] An alternating-current generator that contains a permanent magnet. A magneto, unlike a generator that contains an electromagnet, requires no source of direct current for its operation. Wikipedia Says: [COLOR=#000000]A [B]magneto[/B] is an [COLOR=#000000][URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_generator']electrical generator[/URL][/COLOR] that uses [COLOR=#000000][URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet']permanent magnets[/URL][/COLOR] to produce periodic pulses of alternating current.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
