There're only two possibilities;
1. The "C" wire is still shorted to ground.
2. There's an internal problem in the CDI.
You need to power-up the CDI out of the car and measure the "C" pin of the CDI.

You checked the CDI on the bench?
You need to disconnect the CDI from its connector and measure terminal "C" with a meter to ground (CDI case) for continuity, key-off.
Then measure the "C" pin (ohms), with the CDI disconnected, to ground (CDI case).
Did your rebuilder ever indicate the failure mode of your CDI?
By the way, where are you located?
