Welcome! Since it's all new, make sure the rotor and cap are seated correctly. Next, make sure you have the firing order correct and the plug wires starting at the right terminal on the cap. Also, check the polarity to the coil. If it's reversed your coil will not deliver full power.

This is the third CJ-7 with a similar problem in the past four months! Look through these two threads for some suggestions:

Hint: the troubleshooting charts indicate that you should NOT have battery voltage at the coil primary terminal. It gives some suggestions on where to check for opens and shorts in the primary circuit.
