Love the intelligent banter above on CDI's. For a simpleton like me, I'll distill it down: If everything else tests good, it's a bad CDI. There's no at home test for an average DIY guy like me to conclusively test a CDI....so all things ruled out, it only leaves one option.
Occam's Razor, if you will.
Great deduction Mark. If a DYI doesn't have the proper test equipment, then rule out everything on both sides of cdi.
Main point, resistance testing is not conclusive for several reasons when testing a CDI.
End result, if the proper testing is not performed on either side of the CDI, then you wasted your money on new CDI and the initial problem continues.

What voltage should be coming out of each leg of the stator? Also what kind of reading should I be getting from the pickup coil as I rotate the engine??
Please post your measurements, all three legs of stator as well as trigger coil.

Markin has made a legitimate point, resistance testing is NOT 100 percent accurate test for a CDI for several reasons. Have you tried disconnecting the wire going to kill switch before replacing CDI?
Have you tested for continuity between ground pin and the other pins?
Bayou 400 no spark, no 12v at ignition coil

In addition, please post the resistance readings across all three legs of the stator along with the results of testing stator to ground.
