I had spark in one coil so I replaced the top coil that was not working. At the same time I replaced the solenoid which was not producing voltage on closed side and installed an ignition switch. Now I am not getting any spark to either plug and the starter is only getting partial voltage through new solenoid. I still have the jump to starter to get it to crank.

Scratching my head now, not knowing where to start looking/testing. I have looked at the CDI guide but I don't speak that language.
