Operating Principles

The Kohler 47-755-20-S Ignition Coil is a passive component that functions as a step-up transformer within the engine's ignition system. It takes the low voltage from the battery and transforms it into the high voltage required to create a spark across the spark plug gap. This spark ignites the air-fuel mixture in the engine's combustion chamber, initiating the power stroke.
