Wow im glad this is up on here! Im finally getting my bike ready to start, so i spent most of the day mounting thr coil and cdi just to find out...... No spark  :? . So i clipped off all the bullet connectors on the wire leads and replaced them with new ones, at this point ive tried everything, it had spark when i disassembled it and now, nothing.. I am so frustrated at this point i dont want to even look at the d**n thing. I have a cheap ohm tester and couldnt find the right values... One question though, disconnecting the kill switch will remove that possibility from the loop correct? As a bike can run without a kill swith. Next is there a common first thing to replace i.e. coil or cdi or both? Stator seems to be giving power but at this point im frazzled ..... Help

I once had the same problem. first check the both black wires (black with white line on it), coming out of the cdi. One goes to the kill switch, the other to the stator. if you connect it wrong there is no spark. if you connect it properly, the spark is back.  :-) .  then i made several connections to the wires, so I never connect it wrong again.  :-) also make sure that the kill switch works properly.
good luck.. :-)

and yes the ignition sparks without kill switch, if all other wires are connected right...

My problem ended up being A bad ground wire! Cracked internally. Clipped off and spliced in new wire. Braaap!

I ran  a separate ground from stator plate to coil where it grounds to the frame. It might be an illusion but I see a stronger spark . Read an article on doing that , don't remember where .
