And last update-I figured out what my electrical "gremlin" was. It wasn't the CDI as I had thought, it was the stator.....kinda. The nut on the end of the crank came loose just enough for the key way to distort, which allowed the magnetic housing to spin freely on the end of the crank. No magnets spinning = no signal from the stator & timing pickup. Unfortunately, now Ineed to come up with a good solution to resolve that...... and I REALLY don't want to open the engine up because of a boogered end on the crank. I see some more welding / machining in my future....
