I agree on the OEM for electrical. The thing is about the CDI is there are two different ones. One is an AC based CDI and some (like the american sportworks machines) use an DC based CDI. The stator is on the right side of the engine if you are standing behind it. There is a pack of wires that come off of the stator. There is a group of three that are typically yellow and then there are 1 or 2 single wires that come out of there as well. One of those will be going to the CDI box if it is AC based. If you can post a picture of the wires that go into the CDI connection, we may be able to tell from that.

The ones that have the brake switch that you are tallking about will have two wires that go to the master cylinder. Those wires go to a pressure switch. Those types won't even let it turn over if the brake is not pushed down. If you are getting it to turn over to where you can check the spark, I doubt that is your problem.
