Dual spark plug parts

Dual spark plug wiring diagram – the dual system employs a magneto and a CDI.  The CDI provides a more powerful spark and increases the efficiency and power of the engine.  The magneto circuit is the same as the Thor 130.  The resistance of the magneto is about 290 Ohms.

Spark plug – Champion RN2C  gap 0.023"-0.028" (0.58mm - 0.71mm)  Polini does not specify the gap value in their engine manual.  The value here is from Champion's technical site.  Because of the engine's powerful ignition, the larger gap may be used.  If there are any issues with missing at full load, decrease the gap.
