Answer
Jim, first make sure you are using a clean spark plug. Fouled plugs will shunt the spark down the side of the insulator and you won't see it. Plus CDI sparks are kind of thin anyway.

CDI ignitions use a pulse generator on the end of the camshaft, then send that signal to the CDI module that is getting some power source from the stator (source coil). Ignition switch/KILL switches are all part of the circuitry. Disconnect the ignition switch and KILL switch wiring to ensure that they are not shorting out the ignition signals.
