Old trigger wires can be a problem if the insulation is cracking and falling off, moisture gets to the fine wires inside and they corrode and begin breaking . Sometimes leaving but a few hair fine wires to carry the current, not enough to trigger the switchbox.

Because of that NO RETURN on electrical parts, you want to be SURE to test and retest again before spending a large amount for a part only to find it did not cure your problem. Follow the instructions in the CDI Guide, repeat all tests to verify your findings before ordering parts.
