Acquired this motor from my uncle last week. Compression is at 110 on both cylinders. check spark and none. I checked the wires and all is connected. Open flywheel and cleaned contact points, still no spark. I'm clueless since this motor is not points and condersors like i've fixed older motors. Any input is appreciated

Its a CDI ingniton system ...you will have a coil on the stator producing 300v to charge a capacitor to then be discharged into the coil ....you should check the continuity of the under flywheel "charge coils" about 600 ohms is normal ....these connect down to the switch box
