Hello, I just picked up an artic cat puma 440. I have no spark at either new plug. I pulled flywheel cleaned everything up, sanded and reset point gap .014. Points looked ok. I also elimanated kill switch. Put everything back together. Removed coils,on one porcelian had a crack. Tried starting with battery, then removed battery and tried pull start, no spark either way. Should i try new points and condensers and coil packs or am i missin something. Another thing none of the lights worked. This sled sat for about 10-15 yrs, it has about 2000 miles on it. Another thing when i first bought it, it had spark, then i lost spark, then it came back and now i have none it seemed to come and go.
