Control Box & Thermodetector

The thermodetector is a circuit in the control box which prevents the thermosensor from being influenced by ambient temperature. The control box receives various signals from; leading spark plug ignition coil (indicates engine RPM), the thermosensor (indicates engine temperature), and the vacuum switch (indicates engine load). After receiving a signal, the control box either allows the trailing spark plug to fire or prevents it from firing.
