Does you snap on meter have a current setting? If you look at the schematic http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showt...=cdi+schematic the current through the signal wire through the points to ground should be (Vbatt - 0.7) / 1000 ~ 12 milli amps.
Ooops messed up on that, missed a resistor. should be 12 / 33 or 0.36 an amp.

Yes, I can measure current so I will check that by grounding that wire through the meter. Your post reminded me that there is no signal from the points per se, its just supplies a ground when the points close. My first test when I get home will be whether the wire to the points is grounded when disconnected, indicating a short to ground.
