It doesnt look as though your lanyard is connected if you have one, if its not connected, you wont get spark

I like to use a good old fashioned timing light and watch the bulb. I have used it to chase bad coils and powerpacks on my V-4's The light will be erratic if its bad

can i use light tester (12v) to check whether my power pack of 1982 Johnson 90 hp V4 is good?
No as nothing going into pack is DC voltage and way some is way over 12V, and voltage to plug is in the 30KV range
