Still investigating...

Can't get any signal from the coil in the dizzy, but that could be my multi meters ( FSM recommends analog meter [but that's all hey had back then] ) I have some signal because the CDI is getting a trigger signal. I may have a stupid problem... might have had the CDI module sitting on top of a grounded screw in the glove box, and maybe it moved and is no longer grounded.

CDI box seems to make a ticking sound for a second or two then the sound goes away.

I could easily put in the old coil and so may do that to figure out what is dead...
