So I rode my bike to work which is a 4 mile commute, all was well. When I went to drive back home some hours later I must have made it half a mile and it stopped working. Through a few attempts I could tell I flooded the engine so I had to pedal back home.
Took the spark plug out, removed the carb, let it dry out the cylinder, and then I started taking things apart to check for problems and found this in my spark plug boot.

I replaced the whole boot/wire today and its still not firing. I rest the spark plug on the cylinder and pushed the bike looking for a spark but saw nothing. The guys at Bikeberry told me to hook an ohm meter up to the two wires and look for 6-8 ohms of resistance which I have yet to do.
The bike has been running fine for the past two weeks, the thing that may have caused this was 3 days ago I had to ride home in the rain (a light rain), I think some may have got into the CDI and spark plug boot and caused the issues.
Anyone able to recommend a better CDI or place I could easily get one (Napa, Tractor Supply, Lowes)?
