I have a 79cc predator engine, and I'm looking for a way to get generator power directly from the engine. My goal is to power a 12v electrical system (headlight, tail light, brake light and battery), in the simplest way possible. I know that if I attempt to hook an accessory wire directly to the coil, it will more than likely kill the spark. Now, I have one idea that I've come up with that is fairly simple and inexpensive, but let's set that idea to the side for a minute because I have just come up with another idea that, if a viable option, would be the simplest and least expensive way possible to do this (I hope, anyway). Say i took an ac capacitor, and connected the input wire to one of the coil mounting bolts, and ran the output wire to my rectifier. Would this work? And what voltage capacitor would I need? If this would not work, is there a coil with an accessory wire that could be used in place of the current coil? The only other idea I have come up with is a magnet and coil, mounting the magnet on the end of the crankshaft and fabbing a bracket to hold a coil close enough to the magnet to draw power. The magnet and coil I speak of are available for purchase and will work together, but mounting them in the position I've described is tricky and possibly consuming more space than I am comfortable with. So the capacitor would likely be the cheapest and simplest if it would work, or if not the coil with accessory wire would be the next best bet if anyone knows of a coil that is compatible with the 79cc predator. Can anyone help with this? If anyone hard any better ideas that are simple, cheap and not going to consume a lot of space, I'm all ears.
