Default Re: No spark

I had this problem many years ago and found the problem to be the capacitor that works in conjunction with the points, under the cap. I replaced the capacitor and the problem of not being able to start was fixed. I had power to the coil, but not to any of the cylinder wires.
In your case, I would be thinking more along the lines of what Ken has to say. If you did some wire "borrowing" and it has been a couple of years, then your carb may be gunked up or your wiring is amiss with the changes you made to it.
