Paul, is there a way to tap the unrectified output of the alternator to
go through a transformer and power the capacitors for the CD ignition?
Seems that if we could use this AC output it would be easily amplified.
The downside would be getting the system started while you are cranking
the engine. Just thinking out loud.
Maybe a small alternator could be modified so that it has a sole purpose
to drive the CD system?

That is a great idea Kevin. We need to look into that.
I am working on the 12 volt high voltage power supply design
as we speak.

This little $8 1:10 transformer  just about all we would need.

This little permanent magnet Kubota alternator would work. No diodes.

So would the output from just about any outboard or motor
cycle alternator. Most of those have the high voltage
coil built in.
