Motorcycle Repair: Honda Nighthawk Ignition, 1983 honda nighthawk, fuse holders

Question
Hi, I have a 1983 Honda Nighthawk CB650SC and I'm having trouble with the ignition. The problem usually occurs the first time I ride the bike in the morning when it's still cold or if I leave it sit for a long time before I ride it again. The bike starts up fine, it's a little cold natured so I let it run a little before I take off, maybe a minute or so. After I get only about a block or so though it loses all ignition. You can crank and crank on it with the starter and it will never fire not once. If you turn the key off and then back on it will get ignition again and start right back up. The whole time this is happening I still have power to all my gauges and everything else on the bike. I thought maybe I was losing power to the ignition system so I ran a hot wire to one of the coils which in turn powers both coils and the CDI box. I hooked a switch on this wire and would turn it one when it would die and it still wouldn't start back up until I killed all power and turned it back on. The bike will keep doing this until it kind of warms up and then it will run fine the rest of the day as long as it doesn't cool off. I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my CDI box or what is causing the problem. The only thing I can think is maybe I'm losing power to the ignition and it won't come back on until I kill all power to it and then turn it back on, but I wouldn't think that it would be made that way. Any help resolving this issue would be really appreciated because I can't figure out what is wrong with it.

Answer
Mike,

my first inclination is toward checking
-battery cables and ground wires.
-clean the fuse holders, check main fuse.
-check any connectors for corrosion.
-possibly loose ignition switch components
are not making a good connection.
-Check the connector that goes to the ignition
module or spark units.
All your power to the coils and the ignition
spark units has to pass through the kill switch
I believe, might want to check that if the
coils have no power.
-Possibly the ignition pulse coil is failing.
I can't explain the off/on nature of the problem
other than it sounds like a bad electrical
connection somewhere. The switch or connectors
are primary suspects.
