Ah. I wasnt aware of the nomenclature, thanks. I just need something to feed the coils, a good system schetch. Theres two coils usually for 4 cyl's, I guess they turn on at piston down or on exchaust to.

After seeing the work your doing I bet you could adapt an aftermarket crank trigger system. No distributer ......so maybe 4pickups and magnets on different planes.
This looks decent C5 Performance - C5 PERFORMANCE HOME
They also have a "battery elliminator" ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES - C5 Performance, I wonder if that is anything but a capacitor?
Yes, I want one. T'was that Mercury thingie I was talking about. Must be aftermarket to...
A John Deere maybe 😀

perfect ;
however , if you want DC CDI , you need that , 12V reg + cap , too
isn't better DC CDI , and just small accu ?

I want to elliminate the battery and I will not have any other consumers then ignition so Im thinking a perma magnet would be simplest and lightest. I mailed those C5 to see if they can give me directions about voltage and current speces for such a devise for their system.

I have converted old cars with points to both OEM General motors and MSD ignitions. These applications use a distributor. I'm not sure about the multicoil distributor-less system.

That means a 12 V perma alternator, and the CDI gets that up to whatever the coils need trigged by the optical pickup signal in this case?
inductive , hall , optical - whatever is your choice for CDI

ZM good article. That system still needs a distributor to send the spark to the right place. Two diy triggers & two junkyard ignition modules would be cheap enough but still need a 12v source. The magneto seems less parts. I might carry a battery and skip breakfast to get back the weight.
Any idea how much the bike will weigh?

I bet Stajo's best chance is to just go to local mcycle salvage/SH part store and pick what's looking most appropriate
say small rotor with magnet tip and pickup coil from any honda
then any DC CDI for 4 cyl , with original HT coils ; they're (at least to my knowledge ) all based on single pickup impulse , and both advancing and distribution are made electronically in CDI
though , I believe Stajo's drek will have plenty of RPMs , so purchasing something new , along with know how , could be smartest thing
in any case - they (suede flying Dodossess) could pay that with 2hr beer bill

Light....My stripped down CBR weighed 40 kg more. It made just 100hp at the rear wheel. best 1/4 mile I could get was 11.14 sec.
I wonder how much battery is needed for the ignition to run a minute or two. One might skip the alternator instead and use ready charged batteries. A small NiHM-pack maybe?? Wuutcha think about that?
