1981 Honda CX500c 14K Out cruising down the road today and at about 45 mph. The bike lost power and then just stopped. Felt like it ran out of gas, but has gas. No spark. Anyone have an idea??

my mum[god bless her]used to say....have you washed behind your ears?.Unpluged the kill switch wire to the cdi, and still no spark. Plugged wire back in and now the bike starts right up. Somthing is wrong some where. It has run for ten minutes so far. I never did understand electric wiring systems.
Back again. I have good spark on the right side. No spark on the lest. Is there a test I can do on the coils? Maybe they are breaking down when thay get hot. Would a bad cdi just have spark on one side? How do I sign up to buy one of the new cdi replacements?
Thanks Ken
