sounds like you have other issues, very doubtfull two cdi's in a row are going to go bad, check the fuses, and battery wires, check the coil wire connection, snip a 1/8" off the end of the sparkplug wire and reconect the boot.

yea i htink its in the boot i got the wires all checked out all okay but the coil spark plug boot no power goin threw that but thew the coil theres power like if i take off the boot test it its okay then if i put the boot on no power goin threw
so i tried wiht the boot on holding the plug to see no shock took the boot off and took the top of the plug thingy off so its just threads threaded the plug right in the wire i got a big shock lol
but i just boiught a brand new ngk spark plug boot last night and doing the same so i em goin to go back and ge tnaother one a guy said around here he seen defetive spark plug boots befor brand new ands i have the werst luck so i hopewing thats it

To be safe, snip a 1/8" off the coil wire before installing a new boot, sometimes the copper inside the coil wire gets corroded and bad contact occures between the boot and the coil wire.
