Greetings!

I'm installing motogadget mo-unit blue, handlebar switches and new guage on my 2002 moto guzzi Nevada to get rid of old wiring. I removed all of the wiring harnes and before i start adding imputs and outputs to the mo-unit I wanted to just wire up the ignition system to see if there's still spark at the plugs when I crank over the engine (by shorting the starter lug to the +12V lug with a wrench). I found the schematic online that i'm doing this by. Looking at the frame number and voltage regulator wiring I asume that my Nevada has a series 2 wiring(files attached). I removed the coil plugs for both right and left coil plus i cut away the RPM sense wire that goes to the original guage. The phase sensor connector is left as it is because it's plug is seperately connected directly to the Digiplex 2S (med 501A) via blue and black wires to pins 1 and 2. There are no diagnostics connector wires as shown on the schematic. There is a purple/black 2inch long wire connected to the pun 4 but nothing was connected to it. The schematic says there should be the contact for spark advance reduction. The ground wire on pin 10 is the one that went to the battery negative therminal lug whitch I just cut away at the lug and connected directly to the negative battery therminal . As seen by the schematic positive 12V goes from the battery trough the fuse and relay to the pin 6 and is split to the coils. I cut the wire before the relay and connected it directly to +12V battery therminal. The final schematic of just the digiplex wiring after removing everything is also attached. For some reason when I connected everything up and cranked the engine there is no sparking on the spark plugs and I don't know why. Am I missing something and did I wire it all incorectly or is the digiplex module broken? Feel free to ask for any more info all help is welcomed!

Best regards,
Sven

Welcome.

You have quite a project there.

I cannot look at your wiring right at this moment but I will try and review your comments in more detail later on in the next couple days and offer any information I can that might be of assistance.

In the meantime, I wish you good luck!

Thank you for the help I appreciate it.
 
You got the right guy now, Dr Scott. I think Todd sells the unit in the store. This is the same I am going to do on my LM3 when I get $.
 
Hello.
Still no solution ? .
No sparks at the spark plugs ? .

I owned a California 1000 with Digiplex ignition for a few years.

Is your phase sensor in working order ?.
On the 2-pin connector to measure approximately 700 Ω according to tolerance.
Air gap 0.6 / 0.8 mm between sensor and teeth on flywheel.
