I have built a very basic capacitor discharge ignition that actually runs my motocycle.
I am wondering about matching the ignition coil to the discharge capacitor. I can not find any info or rule of thumb to follow. looking at commerial units there does not seem to be any rule regarding the voltagle/cap size/ coil resistance or reactance in mili henries.
Any clever chaps able to give me a few pointers so i can work out if I'm getting the most power transfer possible?
