The Wico Type EK is an ignition system used primarily on hit-and-miss engines, which were popular in the early 20th century. These engines are known for their simplicity and efficiency, particularly in farming and industrial applications, where they powered machines like pumps, saws, and other equipment
Wico Type EK Ignition System:
-
Design:
- The Wico EK is a magneto-based ignition system. A magneto generates electricity to create a spark at the right time to ignite the fuel mixture in the engine.
- The EK model is a very simple, reliable, and mechanical type of magneto.
-
Usage:
- Hit-and-miss engines typically use a magneto like the Wico EK because these engines did not have a battery-powered ignition system.
- The magneto generates its own spark by harnessing rotational motion from the engine to create a magnetic field and then a high-voltage pulse to the spark plug.
-
Functionality:
- The Wico EK’s primary role is to produce the spark at the right moment for ignition. It typically has a mechanical trip mechanism that opens and closes contacts, interrupting the magnetic field, which generates the spark.
-
Hit-and-Miss Engines:
- The term “hit and miss” refers to the engine’s governing system, which allows the engine to skip power strokes (miss) when it is not under load, only firing (hit) when more power is needed.
- These engines are known for their characteristic sound—alternating between periods of firing and silence (the “hit” and “miss”).
