Hi All
I wanted to post on here to any potential Victa Powertworque experts and people who know about electronics and ignition systems post if I have understood the inner workings of the ignition module.
Regarding the electronic ignition module either as the seperate little silver box or built in to the ignition coil I believe this is how it works. This post is relevant to the Powertworque flywheel magnet, ignition coil, armature etc.
I've been going deep down a rabbit hole trying to understand how the ignition system works on the Powertworque Victa and in particular the ignition coil, armature and most importantly the silver little square ignition module.
I ended up finding a very good free book online from the 1960's that is solely about ignition coils and magnetos. I'll post the link below and you can read for free. If you go to page 221 I reckon this is what the inside of the replacement Victa module ignition module is made up of. Some diodes, capacitor and thyristor that get triggered once a certain voltage is reached gets triggered. I have taken a screenshot below.
There is one last great Australian electronics magazine Silicon Chip magazine and I emailed one of the staff writers and I said the way the magneto looks on the Victa Powertworque with 2 magnets on the flywheel and the U shaped armature (not E shaped) he agreed the internal circuitry would be similar to what I've posted.
I've also posted a photo from a Paul Dempsey book of the system and and explanation of how that circuit works.
I've vaguely thought about spending $30 and taking one apart but I reckon this circuit is pretty much and you can read the photo and someone with some electronic knowledge will see how once the SCR is triggered at the gate it dumps the voltage in to the primary.
And to be honest to really understand you need to know a decent amount about electronics, magnetic flux lines, Faraday's laws of induction etc
On the newer Victa 2 strokes you can't even see this part of the coil visually as it potted inside the coil
