Can't figure out what wires wires go together for CDI

Been Around the Block
I am currently rebuilding a suzuki dirt bike that my dad had. It's got a tm125 frame and an rm100 motor. It's got an old aftermarket CDI for it. The cdi is a motortek CD-80. The wires coming from the CDI are different colors than the ones coming from magneto in the motor. The CDI has a green wire, a red wire, a yellow wire, and a black wire. The magneto wires are black w/ red stripe, black with white(or yellow, i'm not sure) and plain black. I was wondering if anyone knew what wires went together. Thanks guys I hope to hear from you soon.
 
Do you know if that bike ever ran with the CDI unit you have? I thought your model needed a six wire CDI unit to run.
 
But anyway... for the CDI unit, the wires are as follows:

Green - Ground
Red - From Exciter (you have two exciter wires, which is why I don't think this will work)
Yellow - To ignition coil
Black - To kill switch (grounding this wire will stop the spark)
 
Yes it ran for my dad when he put it all together. The unit already has a spark plug wire coming off of it so I'm assuming it's got a built in coil. So I'm still not sure what the green wires for.
