Ignition magneto as larger engines may be too difficult to crank at sufficient speed to operate a magneto, even with an impulse coupling. As the reliability of battery ignition systems improved, the magneto fell out of favour for general automotive use, but may still be found in sport or racing engines. Engines which power Top-Fuel drag-racing cars, which burn nitro-methane fuel require three spark plugs in the cylinder driven by three magnetos because the nitro-methane fuel mixture burns so slowly. Ignition magneto An ignition magneto, or high tension magneto, is a magneto that provides current for the ignition system of a spark-ignition
