the coil IS the "capacitor" in the basic system
Just for s & giggles, do you know what the capacitor does in a CDI?

here's the one I exploded my 850 with.

Fits 1980-present (except FLHTCU-I, all Twin Cam & XL 1200S) all Harley Twins. Primary Resistance: 2.3 ohms. Ignition Type: Electronic. ACCEL Super Coils are designed to produce the maximum amount of spark energy, fast coil rise times and a voltage output that is 45% higher than the OEM coil. The ACCEL Super Coil is our highest output motorcycle coil. The Electronic Super Coil is easily installed in the OEM location using stock (later model year) coil covers on electronic ignitions. This coil carries a Lifetime Replacement Warranty and is made in the U.S.A. The ACCEL Super Coil is one of the best performance values that you can bolt on your motorcycle to achieve smoother idling, crisper throttle response and quick ACCELeration

LOL.
i always feel more comfortable switching on the negative side. works just the same but just my preference.
yes, it stores the extra power the ignition coil needs at higher rpms, where the switch over becomes too frequent for the coil by itself to keep up with recharging on it's own. in other words, it acts as a voltage regulator to keep the coil spitting out the same nominal voltage to the plugs at all rpms. prevalent and present in all late model setups where a cpu controls timing advance, etc.. those capacitors are part of the brain boxs' cpu, they're not part of the stand-alone coil.
I am not in the habit of taking up for Wad but he is correct about CDI-coil combinations,Seadoo uses them on all the 580's and 720's they produced,my Suzuki four wheeler also has a combo CDI-coil.
as well as your superior understanding of how a coil operates.:bigok:I bow to your superior understanding of capacitors.
what kind of brain were you running???
