I'd be willing to bet its the points.Like me and acer said check the gap get them closer if anything cause atleast it will spark.

Yeah ive done that many times already, Ive replaced the points and condenser about 4 times already, I even bought a new coil, But still no spark. Its got to be some wiring, cant be anything else as far as I know, ive run out of options. I dont have the wiring diagram to do it myself so ims have to take it in. How can I test the switch to see if it bad?

sorry i was in a hurry but to my first reply when i said check your ignition start at your key make sure u have no shorted out wires, my guess if all the wiring is ok and your sure your getting power to your coil, check your ignition switch
