Hi
It's a positive earth and just won't start.
There's no spark at plug, points look ok and changed the coil too.
Any ideas ?
Cheers
Tom

Make sure the insulating washers are in the correct position on the points.

Is there full voltage at the coil when switched on? Are the points earthing the circuit when closed? Have you checked the plug / lead and cap for resistance (continuity)?

Try cleaning and re-setting the points. Just 'cos they "look ok" doesn't mean that they are not bridged by corrosion or surface corroded. I notice you have posted this question elsewhere with a similar lack of information, the way to solve this is to carefully check one thing at a time and only when you are sure about that one thing move on to the next!
