Default RE: $25 CDI

ORIGINAL: Bladejunkie

Hello all,I'm try to use one of these units with a CH prop hub and sensor.I'm not sure of the pin out between the two.Is CH Black=neg,Red=pos,White=signal and is the XYZ Black=neg,Red=pos,unshielded(bare wire)=signal.Any help would would be appreciated.I don't want to smoke these things,I waited almost two months to get this XYZ ignition module.

Thanks in advance Jim.
I tried this but was unable to get it to work, I stopped trying before I fried something, so I used the XYZ pickup and built a similar mount as the CH mount.

The CH pickup tests like a transistor, and the XYZ does not, or at least a different kind of transistor. I don't think the two are compatible.
I measured the CH pickup and found 2 P-N junctions, I only measured 1 on the XYZ sensor, and that's the one I am using now so I know it works.

If I had a schematic of the ignition module I could determine for sure if it would work, or at least find the correct type of sensor. but I have not been able to get a schematic.

Oh yeah, and the magnet on the CH prop hub is the correct polarity to operate the XYZ sensor.
