64x CDI Test (stop circuit failing)

Just gonna throw this out there, We have a 1994 Kawasaki 750SX that I personally chased a ghost on. Similar issue except the issue was with the starting. Even when checking resistance values on the cables themselves, they were coming up in spec. Turns out, corrosion can get inside the wires where you can't see. It ended up being the starter cable, which looked perfect and tested .2 ohms of resistance. When I replaced this wire and cut the old one open, I couldn't believe how trashy the actual wire looked inside the sheathing. A month later the issue returned and I found the same problem but it was the starter switch wires that had corroded internally also. Needless to say we ended up replacing everything electrical on that ski. But the issue is gone now. If you have any way to swap some parts around and test stuff, do it!
 
Anybody have ohm values for 64x CDI testing? I have a ski that wont shut off. I have tested everything I can think of accept the CDI.

Did you ever figure this out? I’m dealing with the exact same issue.
Swapped the start stop to a known/confirmed good unit.
Confirmed continuity on the black wire to the motor case (so ground is good)
Confirmed ground to stator cover
Confirmed continuity length of white wire from ebox to switch
Resistance between white and black on cdi is 1.219k

Any thoughts?

Try a different cdi

I've tested CDI's where the stop circuit has failed to function so while it is not very common, it does happen. More times than not, its a corroded wire or terminal at the root o the issue.
I've seen quite a few breaks where the wires pass through the grommets into the ebox too so make sure to test right at the CDI to truly rule out external issues.

Terminals from the CDI are immaculate, plug meters well, and just to eliminate it, I switched to a known and confirmed good wire/grommet set with no change in ohms. If it’s truly the CDI, I’m just going to buy a Zeeltronics, so I’m really not all that bummed.
