any al/emp'
to
do so will lead
to

TRANSISTORIZED
IGNITION
SYSTEM
The Savage
is
equipped with a transistorized
i
gn
ition system. a solid·state system that uses
no
breaker points. The ignition circuit is sho
wn
in
Figure
16
.
The signal generator consists
of
a
ra
ised tab on
the alternator rotor and a pickup coil attached to
the alternator cover next to the alternator stator coil
assembl
y.
As the a
lt
ernator rotor is turned
by
the
crankshaft.
th
e raised tab passes by the pickup coil
and a signal is sent to the ignitor unit. This signal
tu
rn
s the ignitor unit transistor alternately on and
ofr.
As
the transistor
is
turn
ed
on and off. the
curre
nt
passi
ng
through the primary windings of
th
e
ig
n
it
ion coil. is also turned on and o
ff.
This
induces the secondary curre
nt
on the ignition coils
secondary windings
to
produce the current
necessary to
fi
re the spa
rk
plug.
A decompression control unit
is
built into the
ignition circuit. This control unit is described
in
this chapler.
Tran
sistori7.ed Ignition System Precautions
Certain measures must be taken
to
protect the
ignition
syS
tem. Instantaneous damage
to
the
semiconductors
in
the
sys
tem will occur if the
fo
ll
owing precautions are not observed.
1.
Never disconnect any
of
the electrical
connections while the e
ng
ine is running.
2. Keep a
ll
co
nn
ections between the
va
ri
ous units
clean and tight.
Be
su
re that the wiring connectors
are pushed together firmly
to
he
lp keep out
moi
st
ur
e.
3.
Do not substit
ut
e another type
of
igni
ti
on coil.
Troubleshooting
Problems with the transistorized ignition system
fall
i
nt
o one
of
the following categories. See Table

a.
Weak
spark.
b. No spark.
