as Tubs said, a battery must be connected to check for spark. Make sure your plugs work before you check the spark unless you have a spark tester. Rotate the flywheel until the points connect. If there is no spark, try to hold the battery leads onto the battery to make sure that they make contact with the battery. If you don’t get any spark after that, check that the battery lead wires are not broken inside, and if that is not the problem, you may have to redo the coil.
