Unfortunately I don't know anything about stock levels or shipments, so I don't know, sorry. The point of sharing how to test your CDI is to remove the need to send it anywhere if it is actually good, so if you think your CDI is bad, test it first, or ask your hobby shop test it.

Also you might want to mention that checking voltage should indicate battery voltage I assume.
You're welcome! We're trying to make the Octane experience better for everyone, so the more info we can get out there, the better And do you mean step 4? You're checking the power output of the sensor lead, not the battery directly - if that's bad your CDI won't know when to spark.
