No Power to CDI

My 76 911 was running good and then wouldn't start at all. There is no power to the red wire going into the CDI and there is no power to the two pin connector that ties into the 3 pin wire when the key is in the on position. The car cranks fine and the gauges power up when the key is turned to the start position, is my ignition bad? How can I test the ignition? Is there a fuse or relay that could be causing this? Any help appreciated.

Turns out it was an improperly seated fuse up front (3rd from the firewall). I visually checked them but until I pulled out the fuse the problem was not evident, it was either bumped or I didn't get in in right the last time I pulled it out. The aluminum part of the fuse was off to the side and not making any contact. Thanks Timmy2 (Dennis) for the help.

No Problem Steve. Happy to help when it turns out to be a simple fix!
It was good chatting with you on the phone.

Print out the schematic and tape it together so you can follow the wires to where they go in the future!

I will but that still doesn't mean I'll understand it as well as you, thanks.
