FARMAL B SPARK

You can check your magnet's magnetism by holding a flatblade screwdriver near them to see if they pull that screwdriver with a lot of effort. If the magnets appear ok pull that coil wire from the cap and hold it within 1/8-1/4" of good ground
while some cranks over the engine. You should have a good hot blue spark. If it isn't, the coil may be weak. Make sure there's no carbon buildup on the rotor. These new condensers have found to be defective and I would replace it before buying a new coil. Hal
PS: Disconnect the ground (kill) wire at the mag for the time being until you get the engine running.

Do you have the "kill" wire from the switch completely removed from the mag, to rule out a bad wire or switch from bleeding away spark energy.

Have you checked for spark coming out of the high-tension tower on the coil, BEFORE it gets to the cap and rotor?

IF you have spark coming out of the coil, do you have the little gears that drive the rotor timed correctly?
