You can get a very smooth 12 volt DC output from the alternator 
winding by fitting a separate rectifier.  In fact you can use battery 
negative and then use a diode from each AC wire to produce a positive 
supply that will only be present when the machine is spinning.  Use 
that for the fuel solenoid?
