make sure the bottom point isnt earthing on the magneto i had it with mine.
theres a thin piece of metal runnning off of it place a piece if plastice / tape etc under it to stop it shorting before reaching the plug

The piece of plastic is in place,above all that is a brass effect tube is that the condenser,if so the 2 screws that hold it in place are missing,it does move slightly would this cause the no spark problem

Re: wd that has no spark at plug
Are the points opening and closing??
Also are you getting any reading from the coil?
If any other questions give this guy a ring for info

Re: wd that has no spark at plug
Im getting a simular problem, can get a whack of the lead, but a weak spark when testing the lead against the casing, put a plug on it i get a spark but vanishes after a bit.
starting to get annoyed with it! may use battery coil if i get anymore annoyed

Re: wd that has no spark at plug
If your getting a poke from the HT lead, check the plug is not buggered.
Even new ones can be U/S, If you know anyone with a runner see if you can borrow there plug to see if that cures the problem.
Best of luck
