After placing the flywheel, where should the ignition module be installed?

The ignition module is designed to generate and manage the spark necessary to ignite the air-fuel mixture within the engine cylinder. Installing it on the outside of the flywheel is crucial because it ensures that the ignition timing can be adjusted accurately and that the module can effectively sense the position of the flywheel as it spins.

The flywheel plays a key role in maintaining the consistency of engine rotation, and the ignition module must be positioned where it can reliably interface with the engine's timing system. Mounting the module on the outside of the flywheel allows it to utilize the rotating magnetic field generated by the flywheel to trigger the spark at the appropriate moment without being directly involved in the engine's internal operations. This external placement also facilitates easier maintenance and adjustments without the need to disassemble the inner workings of the engine.

Having the ignition module located outside minimizes the risk of damage from internal engine components and maximizes its efficiency and effectiveness.
