Which effect does insufficient dwell have at high engine speed?

  • A.The points burn rapidly, which follows from the increased current that flows during the shortened closed period
  • B.The coil cannot charge fully and the spark weakens
  • C.The spark occurs too early, which produces detonation and therefore damages the engine during heavy loading
  • D.No effect

Answer: B

There is less time per cycle at speed, so a short dwell leaves the coil undercharged and the engine misfires. That is the classic high speed misfire of a points system. Electronic systems control dwell actively. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision. Most errors here come from carrying across a result from a neighbouring case where it does not hold. A symptom that appears under one condition and not another is what narrows the diagnosis quickly.
