This system is designed to assist engine starting under
adverse conditions. A ballast resistor is positioned in
series in the normal supply to the ignition coil. This unit
causes a voltage drop in the circuit so that the 12-volt
supply from the ignition switch may be employed to
power the nominally rated 6-volt ignition coil.
During engine start the resistor is by-passed and the
battery voltage (reduced from 12-volt by the starter
motor load) is applied to the coil direct from the starter
solenoid. This slight voltage overload provides an
increased high tension voltage at the spark plugs.
