Is this the unit you installed?
http://re-mx.com/mr50-cdi-electronic-ignitionIf so, I'd recommend returning to the OEM points ignition. This isn't really a capacitor-discharge ignition; it's just an electronic switch & sensor replacing the point contacts. I think these were initially used on lawnmower-type engines, and I don''t believe the timing can be adjusted, although you should be able to check it with a timing light.
Hee's a wiring diagram, which you may already have:
http://carwiringdiagram.net/diagrams/14 ... iagram.pngThe stator output is a very short 100 - 200VAC pulse, which most meters won't read accurately (they'll read something, but it'll be way low). If you have a meter like a Fluke 87 or similar, these have a setting for reading pulses like these. Also, some meters really do
not like reading coil resistances.
I believe my MR175's stator-coil resistance was 270 ohms or close to that (you need to unplug the stator cable to read this, making sure the points are open). 1.5 ohms is about what you should read at the ignition-coil input, and possibly correct if the cable was plugged in during the reading.
