NOVA II Electronic Transistorized Solid State Ignition Module
Universal and high-performance. Improves engine performance by stabilizing the spark, much like crank trigger ignition does. Durable die-cast aluminum housing. Produces a hot spark even at cranking speeds, allows the coil to produce 100% voltage (depending on spark plug gap). Weather-proof and very reliable. Ignition timing is automatically set. No kick-back and no timing adjustment required. Works excellent!
Suitable for use with most 2 leg or 3 leg magneto coils and with a flywheel having one or two magnets mounted internally or externally, and with coil mounted underneath or outside of flywheel. Works great regardless of the polarity of the magnets, too. Works on lawn mowers, chain saws, trimmers, garden tillers, snow throwers, brush cutters, outboard boat motors, etc.
Works only with magneto type ignition coils that originally had contact points and a condenser. It will not work with solid state ignition (CDI) coils, battery ignition coils or with flywheels having a ring of magnets mounted internally to which the ignition coil (mounted underneath flywheel also) operates off of, such as the bigger aluminum block Tecumseh engines (8hp and up). (As each magnet passes the coil, it'll produce a spark. And if the spark don't occur at the precise time with the piston at a certain position in the cylinder, the engine will either "kick back" or won't run.)
How the timing is automatically set and how it works: First of all, with points, the point gap determines where the ignition timing is set (on systems with a fixed or non-adjustable ignition coil). Therefore, the spark occurs when the magnet in the flywheel passes the coil laminations the moment the points open. But with no points, the magnet still passes the coil laminations at the same moment, which sends an electrical current through a transistor and circuitry within the NOVA 2 module. This current is sent in the form of a signal to the module; within, a transistor opens the primary circuit in the coil and the spark occurs. All this happens at the speed of electricity. The conventional points and condenser ignition system is less responsive.
Being this coil is designed for Tecumseh engines and Kohler no longer makes this type of coil, some of the wires may need to be lengthened for use on a Kohler engine. And NOVA 2 module will work great with this coil.
Has two wire connectors. One connects to the ignition coil and the other connects to the ground of the engine with use of a supplied mounting screw. Comes with detailed instructions. Click here for installation instructions.
Only $17.00 each, plus shipping & handling.
