PVL Magneto Green Coil for LO206 6100 RPM - Less advanced timing coil choice

Important Ignition Timing Note: This is the older-style PVL Magneto coil used on Briggs & Stratton LO206 engines. Compared with the newer PVL coil that has the blinking LED, this older-style coil typically produces approximately 2.5 degrees less ignition advance. In other words, when installed in the same engine and flywheel position, this coil will generally retard ignition timing by about 2.5 degrees compared with the newer blinking LED coil.

This timing difference can be useful for racers and engine builders who are specifically looking for the ignition characteristics of the older PVL coil. If you are replacing a newer blinking LED coil with this older-style version, keep the approximately 2.5-degree timing difference in mind when comparing engine setups.

Designed for the Briggs & Stratton Local Option 206 engine platform, the PVL Magneto system provides reliable, self-powered ignition without requiring a battery. The magneto generates its own electrical energy from the flywheel, making it simple and dependable for kart racing applications.

• Old-Style PVL Coil: This is the previous-generation PVL coil design, not the newer blinking LED version.
• Approximately 2.5° Less Timing Advance: Compared with the newer blinking LED PVL coil, this older coil generally produces about 2.5 degrees less ignition advance.
• Retarded Compared With New Coil: With the engine and flywheel in the same position, changing from the newer blinking LED coil to this older-style coil will generally retard ignition timing approximately 2.5 degrees.
• Self-Powered Magneto: No external battery is required for ignition operation.
• LO206 Application: Designed for use with the Briggs & Stratton Local Option 206 engine platform.
• Trackside Friendly: The coil can be swapped without adding an external ignition battery or complex wiring system.

For engine builders, the timing difference between the two PVL coil generations is important. For example, an engine that measures approximately 24.5 degrees of ignition timing with this older-style coil could measure approximately 27 degrees when changed to the newer blinking LED coil, assuming the flywheel and all other timing-related components remain in the same position.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this the newer PVL coil with the blinking LED?

A: No. This is the older-style PVL coil. The newer version can be identified by its blinking LED.

Q: What is the timing difference between this coil and the newer blinking LED coil?

A: This older-style coil generally produces approximately 2.5 degrees less ignition advance than the newer blinking LED PVL coil. Another way to describe it is that this coil retards the ignition timing approximately 2.5 degrees compared with the newer coil.

Q: If my engine has 24.5 degrees of timing with this old-style coil, what might it have with the newer blinking coil?

A: Assuming the flywheel position and the rest of the ignition setup remain unchanged, approximately 2.5 degrees additional advance would put the engine near 27 degrees with the newer blinking LED coil.

Q: Does changing between the two coils physically change the flywheel timing?

A: No. The flywheel can remain in the same physical position. The difference comes from the ignition characteristics of the coil itself, which changes the effective ignition timing.

Q: Does this ignition coil require a battery?

A: No. The PVL Magneto ignition system generates its own electrical energy and does not require an external ignition battery.

Q: Why would someone want the older-style PVL coil?

A: Some racers and engine builders specifically use the older coil because of its different ignition timing characteristics. Its approximately 2.5-degree reduction in advance can be an important part of a particular engine setup or tuning combination.
