Hi all,
in my motorbike I have a reluctor pickup which measures 100 ohm.
As I'm making my own CDI, I want to get the cleanest possible signal from it.
Without any load, the stator interferes (induction) a lot.

What is the best value for the load resistor for the reluctor pickup? I have
thought it should be 100 ohm too, not because it's a transmission line :D but
because that should give me the maximum power out of it, correct?

However, the original CDI *seems* to have a 3K ohm resistor to load the pickup.

So I'm confused, hopeless, desperate, and I'm seeking Your help. ;)

Cheers,
Mario
