1985 Evinrude 4hp no spark.

Hey all,
I have a 1985 4 HP with no spark. Ran a few years ago when I last started and now I'm trying to fix it up again. Don't know how these point and condenser style ignitions work so here I am. Tried doing the old grounding the spark plug trick with no spark. Plugs are good, grounded them using another outboard to test them. Popped the flywheel off and everything looks pretty new. Any ideas?

Points and condensers all work the same, why are you baffled by these?

Anywho, the real men will be by shortly to instruct you how to learn!
