Patent attributes
A capacitor discharge ignition device for an engine including: an exciter coil provided in a magneto generator driven by the engine; a voltage increasing circuit that increases an induced voltage of the exciter coil; a capacitor charged by an output voltage of the voltage increasing circuit; and a discharge switch that is turned on at ignition timing of the engine and discharges charges in the capacitor through a primary coil of the ignition coil, wherein the ignition device further includes a voltage increasing control portion that controls the voltage increasing circuit so as to increase an output voltage of the voltage increasing circuit when a rotational speed of the engine is a set value or less, and limit the output voltage of the voltage increasing circuit when the rotational speed of the engine exceeds the set value.
