That 2MC capacitor is to aid in starting kickstart bikes fitted with alternators by the sound of it.

Seriously though your going to need more that 1 farad to make a difference and a 1 farad cap is massive

some useless info...

Many old Brit bikes used the 2MC Capacitor to aid flat battery starting or even to replace the battery itself. Here's its modern replacement, a 10,000µF 63VDC version

Providing ignition power to aid kick-starting isn't the same as dishing out 50+amps to a starter motor for 5 -10 seconds.
