I searched
Getting epoxy out of potted circuits
Lots of options. Knowing what it is encased in would be a good start.
My thoughts on the problem, which I proposed some time back, and I'm NOT any kinda electronic whiz at all, so, grab your grain of salt.
What does it do? It gets a signal and amplifies it. If you have smart friends and they have equipment, I'd want to look at the trigger signal and see what kinda voltage it is. Then build an amplifier and send it to a coil. I think you are on the right track and I really don't think it's that big of a problem, especially for someone who is actually an electronics guy. YaKnow, a lawnmower uses a magnet in the flywheel and a pickup with a coil and they don't have a module encased in goop. IDK how different our engines are built. Is the magnet in the flywheel a lot smaller? I've never seen one. But it's gotta have a magnet in it, doesn't it?
If getting the potting out is something that just has to happen, maybe you could freeze the module and get a small, sharp chisel and break out some pieces and try to dissolve them in some of the different things that are talked about in the many suggestions that pop up when you search for that answer. The formulation of the epoxy Suzuki uses might go away easier with one approach than another. The only word that comes to mind is aldehyde, it's either from college chemistry or something I read. IDK if it's even relevant, it just keeps rattling around in my head.
