Capacitor in batteryless system

[Jthomas]

easy question here

Do I install the cap in series or parallel to my fuse block?

CURRENTLY- I have it installed similar to a battery (parallel). The ground goes to frame, the + coming from generator to the + post on cap, and the + post on the cap runs to my fuse block. Same way you would have a battery installed.

I will note. That running the bike without the cap made it run terrible, then the second I attached the cap, it was all good.

(My ignition died recently, unsure if related to this)

Now I’m starting to think maybe it should be ran in series?
+ coming from generator running INTO the + on cap. Then run the ground from - on cap to the + pole on my fuse block.

My bike is wired very similar to this- except I don’t have fuses inline like this. I have an actual fuse block/power distribution. (My key is wired before the fuse block)

The cap should be wired the same as a battery.
It replaces the battery so it should wire the same way.

Okay that’s how I have it currently.
I was just questioning it because I wasn’t sure how much current/voltage buffering it had wired one way vs another.

Thanks
