If I had the time I would do it a different way. I would implement the test CDI as an interface only, and use a computer and my own software to control the prototype ignition and develop the proper map or maps, on a dyno. This would then be implemented in a microcontroller and properly packaged.
As far as ignition issues with GGs, how many of those are verified? I don't think a GG Kokusan is any different than a KTM Kokusan as far as reliability. IMO, if its a real ignition problem, it may be more of an issue with connections, grounding, wire lengths, etc. on the bike that may make it more prone to EMI/RFI issues. Also, maintanence can play a part. I see so many pics of flywheel/stators that look like rusted shipwrecks, and can only imagine what can happen as far as current leakage paths across the internal connections and the effect. FWIW, no GG I have had or worked on has had an ignition problem. I do however, on a new bike, go through the electrical system. The ignition is always clean and dry as well.
I've been doing this stuff for a long time and have seen a lot of strange things with various pieces of instrumentation and equipment.
