Abstract
The present invention is directed to an improved capacitive discharge ignition system for a two cylinder internal combustion engine, such as an outboard marine engine. The system is adapted to be located beneath the flywheel of the engine and has overspeed and overheat protection. The overheat protection is of the type which is automatically deactivated after the overheat condition dissipates, but the deactivation will only occur when the operator slows the engine to a reduced speed before resuming normal operation.
