John, The working voltage for the Rotax 912 UL electrical system is 12 Volts DC; much less than the 22,000 MF capacitor at 25 Volts as called for on the Rotax engine diagram. How do you explain your statement that the working voltage should not be less than 25Volts?

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:
