Anyone know the value of the resistance built into the green cut out wire in the loom of Innocenti electronics?

If I understand what your asking, Then the answer is open circuit with the Ignition turned on.... and a direct short to earth with the Ignition off.... so that would read as less than 1 ohm impedence through a multimeter with the Ignition off...Thats if I have understood the Question correctly.... .......as the Green wire goes back to the Ignition switch and is then earthed through the PINK wire to stop the engine (short circuit the Ignition to EARTH)...All the best

No, I'm talking about a piece of resistance wire inserted into the loom green of original electronics, the ignition was killed by going through this resistance to earth not a dead short.

Ive had a couple of original 200 electronics, and as far as I know, the only difference in the loom is that the greens are taken directly from the CDI unit instead of the junction box, They are Identicle in all other aspects as the Ignition only earths the charge coil to cut off the engine then extra resistance would not be needed. and the ignition switch used was as standard, switching current to earth.There may have been a production change in that model that I am not aware of, Innocenti did alot of stuff that is still coming to light now...I know there will be someone on here with more knowledge than me on Original Electronic GP's.... .... Help anyone...... please... thanx.....

The resistance wire is fitted internally in the loom, so it's appearance would be no different to a standard one.

so am i right in thinking its diameter/thickness makes a difference......to resistance........?
and that this particular wire may differ from what is used in the rest of loom..........?

if so ........i must admit............i have never noticed the difference/and also wasnt aware it would make much difference.............and if it does,how does it affect anything else..........surely it is just a cut out.............
hope to learn from this................

The early rally 200 electronics ran a similar electronic system, there would probably be more Info on this model that may explain the need for this resistance wire, as Ducati made both systems for both models, and as vespa manuals are more detailed someone with an Electronic rally 200 might be able to help. maybe??? All the best

The actual green wire would be the same but there was a short piece of a different element/compound crimped into the central section of it. The original stator/CDI (or transducer as they called it) was different to the modern set up as the white is the feed wire into the CDI not the green.
