Thanks Max for helping, I tried but couldn't do much. There is a generator, 12 volt DC that I geared up slightly more than stock to supply electricity and the capacitor was wired in where the battery would be wired. The magneto supplied spark only with a kill switch to ground the low voltage to stop the engine. When I went into the show, the head judge asked me if the engine ran as a lot of the bikes and even some pf the trucks did not run? I said oh yeah it'll start on the 1st kick......he said I'll give you an extra 10 points if it does, so I turned on the fuel petcock, turned over the engine once to prime it, retarded the magneto and stomped it hard. I had forgotten I took the baffles out of the pipes.....whoa was it loud in that big colosseum! Got the points, still have the trophy and plaque.
