Dc powered cdi question!! Help would be appreciated

Working on a Eton cxl 150
No spark condition
I Have 12.4 to dc cdi and the 12v switched is wired to the brake light switch circuit as oem route. I have 11.6 v because of voltage drop through the bulb (load)
Trigger pickup resistance - 141k ohms and .7 ac v
Exciter coil resistance - 331k ohms and 72 ac v

Do these dc cdis need exactly 12v or higher on switched circuit to fire?
Or am I missing something here?
