    Assuming you haven't done anything non-standard and blown units were known to be good - have to look to the other systems involved, so coil, stator and rectifier would be suspects

    Also check wiring throughut.

    I've heard of bad engine earths causing CDI failure so check as it may be using the CDI as a route to earth which would fry it pretty good.
