It does appear that my home made capacitor wire has little effect.

Shape of the line is like discharged capacitor. Maximum current was the same in both cases(?) Can you tell what is maximum value of current? This was in open air? Capacitor effect should increase when breakdown voltage increases because energy stored to capacitor increses (E=C U^2). What was the wire resistance? In nology wires that was 460 ohm. Longer wire and incrased resistance should increase discharge time (and reduce current).

Capasitor will decrease voltage rise time. That will have to have some effect to boot breakdown. Maybe boot breakdown will only happen with CDI-ignitions. I suppose that with magnetos and coil ignitions voltage rise time is longer.

But are you using the Accell boots?   Crap, more ads....

I don't know if I can put out a post that does not advertise for someone unless it was just some bull spit ramble.
