Default Mojave not firing, any thoughts?

I am trying to get this thing running right. Its an 89 Mojave. It had a DG pipe on it, but wasn't jetted. I installed a factory pipe and rebuilt the carb. She would run, so I was adjusting the idle and at some point about 15 minutes of running, it just quit. Now I have NO spark at the sparkplug. I checked over all wire connections and checked for any worn wires, but found nothing of interest. I don't know where to go from here. Someone told me to check the stator, how in the world would I check that? Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome!!!

Thanks in advance

The coil could be bad. I'm not good with electric things, so you'll have to wait for someone to reply who is. I am parting mine out if you need any things like a coil or stator.

rols, Thanks for the offer. I picked this thing up with a complete 2nd engine and almost another complete bike. I have another stator and a bunch of other wiring stuff, just don't know how to figure out whats wrong. The coil would make sense though! I am looking for a working rear shock if you have one or know where I could get one.

Thanks

just get a test light and check if the stator wires are sending out spark while your kicking it but if you have all of those extra parts i would just replace all of that, it would be eaiser then trying to figure what is wrong.

Just a little update, I have power coming from the stator on the black/yellow wire. I cant seem to find it anywhere else though. I changed the coil, but I am not sure if either one is any good. Should I try to change the cdi box? Thanks in advance
