				For what it's worth, two 10,000 mF (microfarad) capacitors in parallel = 20,000
 mF will be almost as good as one 22,000 mF capacitor. One capacitor > 22,000 mF
 will be fine, even better. But be fussy about having the working voltage (for
 any electrolytic capacitor) not less than 25 V. All this capacitor is doing is
 acting as a "short" to ground for radio frequency noise originating in the
 ignition circuit so that the noise does not mess up your radios.

  On the Rotax 912 UL engine wiring diagram one 22,000 UF capacitor at 25V is
   shown in the circuit. If you cannot find one capacitor of the exact Capaci
  tance, can one larger capacitor be used? Can two 10,000 aluminum electrolyt
  ic capacitors connected in parallel at that point in the circuit accomplish
   the same thing?

  EBay has all kinds of 22,000 mf capacitors.  Here are a few with free
  shipping.  Super cheap:

				John, isn't the ignition isolated from the starting/charging circuits (which is where the capacitor is located)?
