Since you spent money, potentially unnecessarily, he should spend the time to help you resolve your problem, e.g. most who rebuild CDIs will do that.

Once the "C" wire is disconnected from the distributor and the tach wire is removed , it should measure about the battery voltage (12V).
Hi Dave. That is what is so confusing about this. The B terminal on the CDI plug measures 12 volts when the ignition is on but the C wire removed from the distributor and separated from the tach wire measures zero volts with the ignition on. The C wire also shows to be in continuity. It seems like the power from the CDI is not exiting the C terminal down to the distributor. The CDI checks out on the bench and I tried another known working CDI unit and the same result. Can't figure it out. Any thoughts?
