Welcome to the forum! Resistance checks on the trigger (pulser) coil are needed along with specs on the stator charge coil. A cheap Clymer or Haynes manual can help OR if you post your specific year model other members may have the manual and the specs you need to trouble shoot the electrical.Most of the no fire problems were stator related (especially on the older models),BUT with electrical anything is possible!
