A CDI ignition system should NEVER be disabled by pulling the coil wire!!! You risk shorting out the coil between primary and secondary windings and burning out several components in the CDI unit!

Pull the 6-pin or 3-pin connector to disable the ignition during cranking ...

Here are threads with a bit more info on testing CDI systems:
