Our ignition standard inductive electronic ignition or is it CDI?

Julie-
  CDI also uses a coil, just like our system does.  Main advantage of CDI is
very fast voltage rise for the value of the voltage.
Coil makes high voltage (spark) only when the primary (low voltage) current
flowing through it stops, collapsing the magnetic field inside and producing
the secondary (high voltage) current that "comes from the center of the coil
cap".
Otherwise, not bad.... :)
