The spark-ignition engine was a refinement of the early engines which used Hot Tube ignition. When Bosch developed the magneto it became the primary system for producing electricity to energize a spark plug. [37] Many small engines still use magneto ignition. Small engines are started by hand cranking using a recoil starter or hand crank.
