You can't test the CDI by the resistance values. It just doesn't work, event though it's in the repair manual.
What exactly are the 'numerous' parts you've replaced?
New can mean Never Even Worked, and worse than that is the Chinese variable. You can shoot yourself in the foot with the parts canon.
Yes, the pulse gen should create a low voltage. That's the best way to test them because even if they pass a resistance test, they may not do that when hot, or even create any voltage, which is how they are supposed to work.
