You've checked the coils. It happens with either box. You're measuring a pulse generated by the box, not a signal passed through the box.
You're down to checking things that are the same with different boxes and coils, that points to harnessing. Any issue with the power input to the CDI should affect both outputs. Signal inputs likewise. So the output is more likely the culprit. Check it, you can tick off that box, and if it comes up negative you spent no money and just a little time.

My question is if I am measuring at the output of the cdi box, why would I suspect the wire to the coil? Or do you mean the input wire to the coil is bad?
