Ok I used my lathe jaw to serve as a reluctor wheel and the pickup works,it has to be something in the flywheel but what? It's so simple

Ok I've tried everything, I'm seriously about to put this thing to the curb.  this is the fourth ignition pickup I've tried, no matter what I do I can't get any pickup voltage, i'm talking straight out of the pickup and to case ground right near it, zip, nothing. It's not my meter, I'm using a good fluke and I  had no issue measuring pickup voltage before, I even tried another meter, it's a solid ground to the case, every pickup coil measures around 145 ohms installed, there is no damage to the flywheel, the gap to the trigger on the flywheel is fine, the flywheel looks fine, I'm sick of walking and I just can't afford to put   anymore money or time in this,this is being measured out of circuit, so it's isolated, so it's not the kill switch or anything like it.  this makes no dam sense

Leading edge one polarity trailing edge another, inducing ac

ok this is bizarre, I can't get an ignition trigger signal, two different pickups, both 145  ohms, verify continuity when installed, gap is correct, when engine is cranked over, I have no voltage, I have tried both AC and DC even though it's pulsing DC, one of these pickups is known to be good, as I ran it before, is the part of the flywheel that triggers the ignition supposed to be magnetized? if it is, there is no magnetism in it, as nothing sticks to it. 

did you put all the ground leads back on? is it the same stator wiring?

that's a decently big bike and fast enough to get into serious trouble make sure he takes a safety course
