Re: Using a car coil outside the 2 stroke block

Your question is not framed very clearly. If your motor has fire-on-open points you can probably hook up a battery ignition. BUT, bear in mind that kickback may be more likely because, unlike magneto ignition, the power source is external and the motor doesn’t need to be turning at any speed to produce a hot spark. If the timing is significantly before top dead center, it may kick back. Can be a safety issue, especially if you are cranking it with a knob on the flywheel, or if you are using a rope and wrap it around your hand….
