    Did it run before you changed the parts? If so, I would agree with Elgin about cleaning the points. I don’t know your level of experience changing these parts so don’t be offended with my other suggestions. I would also make sure the spark plug wires are making contact in the coil tube with the metal pin. Make sure the points were gapped at the high point of the cam. If everything looks good, you should get a multimeter and start checking for continuity on spark plug wires. Also check coil primary and secondary winding resistance.
