Hi All
I warmed the new bike up this arvo and after a while I noticed that there was a miss and that the left pipe did not have as stronger pulse as the right side
After I check a few things over I found what was causing the miss, and I was surprised that it ran at all the new green coil should have been a give away as no doubt they were chasing the miss but did not find the problem the red arrow is where the burnt insulation was and the wires were touching the rest of the insulation just fell apart
Can some one tell me what the go is with setting the pick-ups correctly after I have made the necessary repairs to the wiring
Would I be able to use better wire or em I stuck with this old crap ??
Coil Pick-ups wiring
To do it properly you'll need to remove the pickups. Solder the new wire close to the pickups, about an inch away, or closer if you're absolutely confident on your soldering ability. I wimped out and got an Ace to do mine - bear in mind they've been immersed in oil a long time, so clean up the wires properly. Then you'll need the special tool to re-install them correctly. Check your local Ducati Owners club, they often have them, or ask your bevel mechanic to do it - he'll definitely have one.
I think I saw recently that Steve now has some wire specifically for the purpose. OK to immerse in hot oil, and with the correct colour codes to boot.

My opinion here..........
DO NOT REMOVE THE PICKUPS !!!!
THere is no need to do so to splice the new wire to the old. You are just asking for problems. There is a special tool that is used to place the pickups in the correct alignment. But, that is not entirely a true statement as you still need to go in and use a dial and set them precisely. The special tool will get them very close to perfect at least perfectly aligned to eachother. I have one of these tools and customers send me their covers to set their pickups after doing this job and removing the pickups, then putting everything back together and wondering why their bike is now running worse than before..... No problem with me, I will take your money and do the job but it is just best to do it right the first time.....

the factory tool puts the pickups at the exact place they need to be in relation to eachother. It also put the pair then approximately where they need to be [the part of the tool that locates the pickup position rotates].
As you can imagine, some engines would require slightly different settings. All the engines I have set up with my tool have ran pretty well with just that done.

Pickups
Martin, Ron Yound did my pickups the other week when he re-assembled my gearbox. He modify's the pickup blades as well as they move out and hit the rotor. As you found out, the guy is a genius on these old engines and you won't need to remove an arm or leg to pay him.
