I know this sounds pretty low tech. but try tapping the cdi with a screwdriver handle or something and see if you get a few more sparks also clean the connections. I have a 350x that I ran for about 6 mo. with a bad cdi. When it didn't want to start I would hit the cdi and off I went. Had to wait till I found one on e-bay.

One spark wonder is fixed
The 84 Honda 200es big red is up and running. The CDI that checked out bad on the digital multimeter was bad according to the Honda repair manual. $157 later and a trip to a Honda dealer for a new CDI module and a spark plug boot cap and it fired up instantly. By the way the old spark plug cap that had no continuity, the new one has no continuity or resistance either so it must have something inside the plastic cap that creates the condition, possibly carbon core. The spark plug wire does have a resistance reading and it checked good also. Now to replace the bent forks and install rear brakes and it may see 5th gear this season.
Thanks all for the replies
