Default 03' Sp700 no spark

I have an 03' sp700 twin, nothing but a freakin' lemon!!! One thing after another, but anyway......I recently had an episode where my sprakplug wires actually came off at the same time while riding through a field. I snapped them back on, but they came right off a mile later. Then I replaced them, and guess what???? No spark......I replace the Ignition controller (CDI) and guess what, no spark!!!! After 20 minutes trying to turn it over, and checking grounds, wires and switches, it decides, it's gonna start.......Anybody had this issue yet?

Did it start back up at anytime before you replaced it? Mine wouldn't spark, then it would, then it wouldn't again......It has power into the Ignition controller, but no spark out to the plugs......

Yes, it has power to the box. I turn the key to start it, and with a test light, you can see the bright pulsating flash of the light as the flywheel turns trying to start, but no power comes out of the box to supply power to the plugs......then just out of the blue, it does have spark.......Posessed????
