Default CDI box for Polaris Scrambler 50

Black to w/r 450 ohms,black to Blk/Red 800 ohms,Blk to Y/R 0.5 ohms,Blk to white 0.6 ohms.Black to ground should not zero out.
Old CDI box has 6 wires new one has 7 how do I hook it up?

Default Still no spark

I replaced cdi box and stator and all new switches and tether. Cranks over and I put spark plugs on the motor or frame. It Sparks from plug to frame but no spark on plug itself I have to be missing something.

Are you sure you have a good plug ? If you have spark at the wire on the frame, and no spark when you put it on the plug, there's nothing else there but the plug.

i used multiple plugs. I've never seen it before. Put the plug in and ground the sparkplug to the frame or motor and it sparks between the frame and the medal on spark plug but no spark in the spark plug itself. Just messed up. Never ran into this before. Idk if it's a ground issue. I can make a video when I get out of work.
