QuestionI seek your advice on the basic principles of the electrical system for the engine which I am currently working on.
The engine is a ROTAX 582 UL (2-cylinder/2-stroke air-cooled twin ignition - 2 coils/4 spark-plugs). The electrical is basically a magneto system.
I want to install a new ignition switch and I am facing a problem as the new switch is of a new version and is slightly different from the old defective unit.
The wiring instructions for the ignition switch are as follows:
1. Connect wire from RIGHT MAG to terminal 1
2. Connect wire from LEFT MAG to terminal 2
3. Connect wire from POSITIVE terminal of power supply to terminal 3
4. Connect wire from STARTER SOLENOID to terminal 4
5. Connect wire from terminal 6 (centre GND terminal) to nearest structural member.
NOTES:
Use JUMPER on terminal 1 when LEFT MAG has IMPULSE COUPLING. (* cannot understand, whether this is applicable?)
The engine has an electric starter motor. I can crank the starter but the sparks are very weak.
Can you please advise me on the correct wiring for the ignition switch?
I also want to wire up the charging system.
