Mag or Coil?
That was gonna be my next question, Did ya ever have the magneto off? The magneto key at TDC should be at about 2 O'clock with the mag almost, (not quite) level.
If yer getting spark it's probably not the CDI, But thats not 100% FER SURE either. I still think ya got a weak coil. Yeah. I know, Yer getting spark. But like I said, I've been fooled like that a million times.
Drain all the old fuel mix out of the carb, clean it and try again. If the mag is set right and yer getting a "GOOD" spark then it should POP.
Put a coil on order. It's only $12 or so and yer probably gonna need one eventually anyway.
Went through it like this for almost two weeks with another guy. Turned out he forgot to put fuel in the tank. I fell down laughing so hard I almost peed myself. SO, GAS IN TANK, PETCOCK ON.

The mag with piston at TDC should look like this.
