Mark3 pick-up and NLM cdi/coil set up

Post by MoriniMike »

Dear Oracle. I have recently acquired a new black mark 3 pick up and magnet from Italy. I have also a new NLM cdi. I have learnt I must introduce a diode in the red wire if it had original transducers but is this true also with the NLM unit.
Any other tips welcome.

Hi Mike,

I believe that to be the case, in each red wire. cathode towards the transducer(unit).
Most likely the timing will need to be adjusted and confirmed with a strobe gun at 6000 rpm
Cheers
Mark
