It's been a bit, but I am calling out for help once more on this ATC. I found out that the 'lighting coil' is AC voltage from a single coil in the generator, which brings my main query. A rectifier/regulator is easy to come by, and inexpensive, but if I were to add it to the system, would I have to also change over to a DC CDI? If so, would I be able to reuse any of the old ignition parts if I did switch out to a DC CDI?
I have very good understanding of alternators, regulators, 2 and 3 phase generator motors, but this small engine stuff makes me a bit nervous. If it isn't worth messing with, then I will just install what I have and deal with it till something better comes along down the road, but it would be nice to have a 12v DC option. As always, any help is appreciated.
Here is something I dug up, and would like some feedback as to whether both would still use an AC CDI, the first is the atc 200s, diagram, the other is a trx 200 diagram.
