Abstract
An electronic ignition system for an internal combustion engine is described herein. The ignition system includes a sensor assembly provided with two sensing elements configured and sized to detect teeth mounted on an outer cylindrical surface of the rotor of the voltage generator and to supply trigger signals to a controller. For each piston of the combustion engine, two teeth are provided onto the rotor. A first tooth is positioned to be detected before the piston reaches its top dead center when the rotor rotates in a forward direction and a second tooth is positioned to be detected before the piston reaches its top dead center when the rotor rotates in a reverse direction.
