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.

Paul,
              Some of those Kubota alternators were fitted to the
water pump, combining the alternator and water pump in one unit.
