Re: no fire no start
With the key on you should have about nine volts to the + side of the coil and while the starter is turning you should have 12 volts. The - side of the coil is connected to the points and condenser and ground when the points are closed and when they open the coil fires. You can run a jumper to the + side of the coil and see if it cranks the engine but don't leave it on or it will burn up the coil.

Re: no fire no start
check the resistor. and if it is good make sure you are not running an internally resisted coil!

Re: no fire no start
check your points, could be adjusted too far out and not be closed enough to get fire. chris.
