My junky CDI went out

I didn't reread the post you mentioned, but I don't check mags that way.

first, blue wire to a good ground is 320 to 360 ohms being sure to scrape the probe into the metal for a good connection - if reading is is too high, try to get a reading right from those two copper wires at the top of the coil, and if good there, then resolder that connection which often goes bad

checking CDI with a meter is hard & gives funny readings because the capacitor in it stores voltage, then kicks it back if you reverse probes - also, it may spark well but at the wrong time

when checking for no spark, just looking may not work - if you think there is no spark, then hold the plug in your hand, hold your hand on the top of motor, roll the bike & see if it bites you
 
No Spark for sure. Held plug in my hand while peddling with the clutch engaged and touching the engine. I did not get zapped whatsoever, and I peddled it pretty quickly.
I went ahead and ordered a new Magneto, and have already replaced the CDI. I figure it has to be one or the other right?
 
Just for clearity, the plug was attached to the plug wire and the CDI was connected to the Magneto, which I have made sure is correctly grounded.
