A easy way check for spark is to hold the
metal ring on the plug lead about 1/8" away
from one of the cylinder head bolts with
insulated pliers. You should see a blue arc
when you turn the engine over. If you see
the arc, then the plug is bad. If you dont
you can try cleaning the points contacts
by folding a small piece of very fine sandpaper
and putting it between the contacts when they
are closed (TDC) and pulling the sand paper
out slowly a few times. If that doesn't work
I would get a new points/condencer kit for
few dollars.
