2012 EC250E Wiring Issue - No Spark

[nowheelies]

Hello all, new user here and I have an issue.

I searched the forum and was not able to find anything too fruitful,

I bought a 2012 EC250 w/ electric start. When I bought it, it didn't run (had no spark) but after a couple days work I got it going. This time around pulling it out of storage I find I have no spark again. I pulled the wiring harness to do some trouble shooting against the electrical diagram and noticed a lot of funny things: splice after splice after splice, wires leading to nowheres, etc.

My question is this, what do I need to have at a minimum connected to get spark? (using kickstarter only) By my logic I'm thinking I need the alternator connected to the CDI and regulator. CDI connected to the Ignition coil. Do iI even need the regulator connected as it just evens out the voltage for the lighting? Lastly, everything must be grounded properly. That said this is what I have connected and still no spark.

I checked ignition coil and spark plug and got approx 5kOhm for each. Checking alternator I got 12ish ohm which I believe is reasonable. Not sure how to diagnose CDI.

Any help/thoughts would be much appreciated, I will follow up with photos tomorrow.

Great forum btw, Thank!!
