The L275E is a twin cylinder horizontally-opposed two-stroke, air-cooled, direct-drive petrol engine design, based upon the Volkswagen air-cooled engine.It employs a single magneto ignition, two carburettors, is lubricated by oil mixture lubrication with a fuel to oil ratio of 25:1 for mineral oil or 50:1 for synthetic oil and produces 15 kW (20 hp) at 7200 rpm.
Magneto components. Impulse coupling components. An ignition magneto (also called a high-tension magneto) is an older type of ignition system used in spark-ignition engines (such as petrol engines). It uses a magneto and a transformer to make pulses of high voltage for the spark plugs. The older term "high-tension" means "high-voltage". [1]
A Jabiru 5100 flat-8 four-stroke aircraft engine with dual ignition, with two spark plugs per cylinder and two distributors.. Dual Ignition is a system for spark-ignition engines, whereby critical ignition components, such as spark plugs and magnetos, are duplicated.

The engine series are all four-cylinder four-stroke, horizontally-opposed, air-cooled, Volkswagen automotive conversion gasoline engines, with direct-drive. They employ magneto ignition systems and, depending on the model, produce 55 to 80 hp (41 to 60 kW) at 3600 rpm, with a compression ratio of 8.0:1. They use a geared electric starter.
Small internal combustion engines used for lawn mowers, chain saws, portable pumps and similar applications use magnetos for economy and weight reduction. Magnetos are not used in highway motor vehicles that have a cranking battery, which may need more ignition timing control than a magneto system can provide, though sophisticated solid state ...
The L550E is an air-cooled horizontally-opposed 550cc four-cylinder two-stroke petrol engine developing 37 kW (50 hp) at 7500 rpm which can drive a propeller either directly or geared. It employs a single magneto ignition, four carburettors , and is lubricated by oil mixture lubrication with a fuel to oil ratio of 25:1 for mineral oil or 50:1 ...
The L1700 is a four-cylinder four-stroke, horizontally-opposed air-cooled, petrol direct-dive engine design, based upon the Volkswagen air-cooled engine.It employs a single magneto ignition, one carburettor, is lubricated by a wet sump and produces 50 kW (67 hp) at 3600 rpm.
