Do you run the Readspeed Lukas CDI with or without a voltage regulator on A/C ? Cheers

With.There information sheet says "no ADITIONAL regulator needed" but you still need a regulator to regulate the power coming from your stator plate.

As you'll need a regulator for lights, wherever you connect into the circuit, to feed the cdi, it will be regulated. It can't be any other way.

I run a Lukas CDI unit.I use a regulator as normal but I run my unit from the output side (the regulated side)of the regulator and have an Anthony Tambs external pickup thus cutting out the need for anything to be used on the stator plate,especially the LT coil which is the week point on a stator plate.You can still use the pickup on the stator plate by swapping the wire that comes out of the stator plate(red wire) for the wire that comes out of the external pickup.If you dont use an external pickup you can still use the pickup on the stator plate.

Should read.................................

.................anything to be used on the stator plate,apart from the lighting coils that run through the regulator
