Try disconnecting the outer green wire on the CDI (from the main loom), this will eliminate the ignition switch as this can cause issues.

see if your actually getting a spark from the green stator wire it will be weak then add the cdi leaving off the ign switch green as previously stated

i'm wondering if your flywheel is lined up correctly with the stator, too far in/out and missing the pick up ?

Is the mag flange in too far/not far enough, is the stator sitting proud/etc
You'll be getting a PM off Muppet shortly, he just PM'd me by mistake

Try a different CDI, I know you have a new BGM one but still worth checking. Also, you don't have an Augusto fitted do you? If so, try bypassing it.

Assuming the outer is the loom one, sometimes they are switched around.
