while your waiting on that new cdi.. you can improve the electrical system and possibly solve some issues by simply running a ground jumper. The negitive lead from the battery is normaly run up and connected under the metal plate that all the electrical stuff, cdi, starter solonoid and the wiring connections are mounted to. As the system is in stock configuration, the motor recieves ground through the motor mounts! not real dependable. Run a jumper from the negitive connection point to one of the starter bolts. this will insure the starter a good ground for cranking and give the motor block a solid connection for the coil. Then replace that cheap p.o.s. on/off switch with something of better quality. that switch is notorious for giving problems.
