Hi Ken; This idea was brought up a few years ago and while I initially thought "wow, great idea", I happened to have a spare coil from a 780cc MachZ engine and try as I might there is no easy way to make this work. It would take a very substantial amount of work to make it feasible. It may be a good project for the future when I have nothing to do... Hah, like that'll ever happen? S.
