So far, so good. Doesn't look too promising for the CDI. Check pulse coils resistance next, 330 ohms each. Did you check resistance of the plug caps ? should be 5K ohms each.

I pulled the coils out and the primaries measure 3.2 ohms and 3.2 ohms and the secondaries are 14.9K ohms on the left coil and 14.7Kohms on the right coil. I'm thinking that they are OK? Back to the manual now to see what's next.

Then I pulled the four spark plugs out and attached each to its plug wire and laid all of them on the metal fins and cranked the bike over. The two inner plugs, which correspond to the coil on the right had spark. The two outer plugs had no spark. I think the non-sparkers are both driven by the coil on the left as you face forward. That's the news so far. I'm going to see how hard it is to remove the coils so I can check all their connections and measure their primary and secondary resistances. But I am open to 'what's next suggestions".
