if the coil has two male spade terminals then you should have one live feed and a flashing earth/live when the engine is turning over,if it hasnt then there is a problem down the line check the same wires for this reading back at the cdi and then check the pick up/pulser coil is putting some current out in a on /off fashion.i use an led and connect it to the pick up coil and then sping the engine over and it should light up if you have it wired around the right way.if it has only on ewire from the pick up coil put one pole from the led to the live one from it and then the earth pole from the led to earth where the coil is screwed on.you cant wire it from the wrong wire from the cdi the timing will be out.
