Green wire at the CDI harness measures 622 ohms resistance and 1.36VAC during cranking. No spark (checked with the coil wire pulled out of the distributor cap). Gremlins perhaps???
If you have 12.0 volts on pin 15 you have a dead battery-- even with the voltage drop from the battery cable from the trunk to the starter through the harness you should still be seeing more than that. What is the exact voltage at the battery with the ignition off? Should be at least 12.5V, at 12.25V the battery is at 25% charge.
