Abstract
A capacitative discharge device is provided as part of a magneto-based ignition system for enhancing the starting performance of the ignition system for an internal combustion engine. The ignition system incorporating the invention is applicable to conventional mechanically timed magnetos, including those intended to incorporate impulse coupling or inductive vibrators as starting aids. Although the ignition system incorporating the invention is primarily intended for aerospace applications, its relative small size the light weight make it also ideal for any type of portable application.
