Hi guys, I have a bit of an update on my situation.

I found a method for testing my ignition, which involves attaching a 12 volt lamp between the negative side of my coil and the ground wire. When the engine is cranked this light should flash on and off as the CDI grounds and ungrounds the coil, so as to induce spark.

I tried this out and got a flashing light on my "good" side, but the light just remained on when attached to the coil on my "bad" side. This means either the CDI is not working properly, or that it is not getting the correct signal from the pickup coils.

Before i splashed out on a replacement CDI I checked the resistance on my pickup coil windings (this is something i didnt know how to do earlier). I have about 290 ohms on one of the windings and 2050 ohms on the other. I believe spec is round 300ohms so it looks like my problem is my pickup coils after all.
