Dre-XT-Stück - no ignition advance & ignition pickup waveform analysis

If you're just interested in the solution, look at the picture below, spot the brown cable and smirk, because there's a red cable plugged in. 

With that out of the way should you ever be in the position to question whether your stator was wound incorrectly, here's a few things to know beforehand:

• common ground for the pickups is green
• 12 degree pickup connects to white-green
• 36 degree pickup connects to white-red

If you hook up an osilloscope and have the polarities of the AC-supply mixed up like I did, this is the waveform you'll see at idle (and also higher revs, because the ignition will not advance), i.e. around 11V peak to peak:

 Once hooked up correctly, the peak-to-peak voltage will be under 9V and with a much more civilised wave form

And here in the form of a video to show how I set up my equipment and how the waveforms change depending on RPM, i.e. if you're troubleshooting, what to expect.
