No spark, below is your ign system, as you can see there are several componets, do you have a manual to help you check out your system?

Yes ignition system is the place to look, check ALL the electrical connections for corrosion, even a good non rusty ground under the coils. Or it could be the powerpack. But check the wiring first.

Thanks for the parts website, items seem to be at least 20% less expensive. And yes I do have the manual...will begin doing some testing soon. While the Engine appears spotless I'll also check all connections.
