This part is prone to wearing out and can affect the running of the unit. Indications of this part wearing out are:
engine not starting (no spark produced)
engine not governing (uneven or over revving running pattern)
engine runs for a short time then cuts out.
Generator Guru says:
It is not uncommon for this part to blow. If your engine is not starting, remove the yellow wire to the CDI and try to start it again. If it starts you need to replace the CDI. Do not run the engine without the CDI for any length of time, as it cannot shutdown the engine if there is a problem with the oil pressure, which can result in damage to the engine.

Running Probelms/Cutting out
Posted by Martin, West sussex on 21st Jun 2011
I was given the task of fixing the running and cutting out problem so started with fuel as that seemed to be the fault. Checked the fuel system and it was clean. Next step ignition so started at the plug and worked back and wasn't long before found the black wire was broken where it comes out the oil alert/CDI unit and every so often was touching the crankcase then cutting the engine.Fitted new unit and runs a dream. Great parts Service and very quick shipping.
