I don't think the same exact tests as the early 3-pin CDI unit should be applied to the magnetic pickup, 6-pin version of the CDI-unit.

The two pins attached to the green shielded cable should be tested at the CDI-cinnector for a reading of 600 Ohms +/- 10% ... the green cables age and crack -- going 'open' so the CDI-unit doesn't get the trigger signal it needs, and are a known trouble spot on post-77 ignition systems.
