i have a 1985 yamaha that was running great ,blew the lower unit due to oil leak ,rebuilt lower unit ,went to start motor now i have no spark. i tried jumping the ignition with an entirely new harness ,the kill switch is fine ,now on my motor it says if engine is running eratic ,switch wiring "a: and " b" to get you back to port (these wires are coming from cdi) after doing this i get spark in one plug i was told cdi is bad but this doesn't make sense to me any ideas thanks

All you can do is test the inputs to the cdi to see if they are in spec and then test the out puts of the cdi ,if the inputs are good and the outputs are not then it would be the CDI gone bad
