SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
In
the
capacitor discharged ignition system,
the
battery's electrical energy charges
the
capacitor. This
energy
is
released
in a
single surge at the specified ignition timing point and the current flows through the
primary side
of
the ignition
coil.
A
high voltage
is
induced
in the
secondary windings
of
the ignition
coil,
resulting
in
a
strong spark between the spark plug gap.
