Hmmm...it's doubtful that the CDI is causing the problem, they either work or they don't. I'd start by looking for a source of high resistance, such as a short in the wiring. You mentioned this was a project when you bought it so it's possible the PO did some unseen handiwork.
If you haven't already done so, unplug the harnesses and go through each wire with a VOM, checking first that there is continuity on each wire between the plugs, then checking again for continuity between each wire and the chassis. There should not be continuity between wires and the chassis, EXCEPT for the chassis ground wires. If you disconnect the chassis grounds and still have continuity on that wire, you've found the circuit with the short. I feel your pain. I went through something similar on an old hacked up Honda project I rescued a decade, or so, ago.
