No, I only checked the gap. So, guess it could be that as well. I guess at 40k, this was bound to pop up. I'm close to Snekepte, maybe he and I can swap some components over the winter downtime.

Troubleshooting this kind of intermittent problem is a major pain in the butt. If you cannot see anything obvious with the wiring such as a frayed wire grounding out, loose connection or get lucky and find a defective switch I'd replace the CDI unit unless you can get a good used one to replace yours with to test.

That's assuming you actually found a good way to check the pickup coil. You mentioned that you checked it (gap) last year. Did you measure the resistance across the coil both warm and cold?
