sounds like you have lost a ground somewhere. go over the wiring meticulously and check for any loose connections. also take apart all of the connectors and spray some dielectic grease in them. water cant get in them that way.

it cant be the CDI because the motor still runs. cdi = capacitor discharge ignition. does not control lights or anything like that.
