Default 1997 Honda Foreman 400 - No Spark

I'm new to this board and looking for help. I posted this in the Honda forum, but there doesn't seem to be much traffic there. Which is why I am posting it here as well.

Working on a 97 Foreman that's not getting spark. Started at the plug and went upstream. Here's a quick list of what I've checked or replaced so far:
Plug
Coil
CDI
Kill switch
fuses
12V (switched) confirmed from fuse block, through kill switch, to CDI

I swapped my coil (300EX) and CDI to the Foreman and got no spark. Swapped his CDI to mine and mine started, so I'm assuming his CDI is good.

Unfortunately I do not have a Clymer manual for this. So far I've been working off of the manual the owner has.

The Foreman was running fine, and either died or was shut off, and suddenly has no spark. Then it was brought to me. I'm wondering about the Ignition Pulse Generator, but don't know how or where to test it yet.

I do have some experience wrenching. I've worked on my bikes and vehicles for 20+ years, so I should be able to understand what I'm told. Any help/ideas/sugestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
Scott
