[Ducati] Timing pickup question ...

[MS&F]

Hi Don, sorry to hear you are having problems - my side of the pair is 
working fine.  If you didn't move the base plate, I think that the 
pickup must be aligned properly. How did you join the wires?  I soldered 
mine, and heat shrinked the joint, then put heat shrink over both of the 
wires.  Maybe this is the source of the problem.
