first try another plug, still no spark then remove the ht cap and see if it sparks from the ht lead to an earth point without the plug if it does then you need another ht cap, if it wont spark from the coils ht lead without the plug and cap then you either have no live to the ignition circuit, (check fuses and use a voltmeter to see if there is electricity at the low tension wire of the coil) if all fuses and connectors are ok then either the coil or the cdi unit is dead, more likely to be the coil you could wire up any similar coil just to see if it gives a spark just get a coil from another single cylinder bike that is the same ohms (probably about 3ohms) wire it up and see if there is a spark with the plug out.
If there is just replace with the correct coil.
if still no spark then its either the cdi not working or power is not getting to it or the earth from it not working. you need to check if it is live this would involve the aid of someone who knows how to use a multimeter, Its more likely to be a fuse blown or a wiring fault unfortunately the only way to see if its the cdi unit is to substitute it with one from a running bike to see if it sparks. and this would need to be from another bike the same, whereas any coil will do to see if it works as long as you dont try to run it with the wrong coil.
just make sure the coil has the same resistance value as the one on the bike so as not to damage the cdi unit.

Check the coil and the capacitor. If the capacitor goes bad it won't spark even if the coil is good. To check for spark, remove a spark plug from the cylindar head, and then re-attach the spark plug wire. Then hold the spark plug against the fins on the engine and kick it or press the starter switch. You should see the spark jump across the plug gap. If there is no spark then test the coil and the capacitor. If there is spark, then your problem is fuel. Either you are flooding the engine or not getting fuel. A fouled plug will indicate too much fuel. A white or nearly white tip on the plug would indicate no or not enough gas. Normal plug tips have a honey gold to tan color on the ceramic portion of the plug tip.

Make sure all wire conectors are plugged in (wire from motor, coil, right handle bar switch). Maybe the spark plug cap isn't making a good conection to the spark plug wire. Unscrew the spark plug cap from the wire. Cut a 1/4" off the end of the wire. Screw the cap back on the wire. It'll be easier if you remove the rubber boot from the cap. Put a little wd40 on the wire. Slide the boot on the wire, then screw the cap on.
You'll need a shop manual and a multi-meter to test the ignition system.
Is the kill switch in the run position? A common mistake.

Is it running to rich you could be flooding it!
do you need new Sparks!
Or maybe the spark cable needs replacing!
Try taking the plug off, heating the plug on a gas stove for a minute of twothen pluging it back in or just giving it a good clean with a wire brush!

Coil,plug,wiring, electronic module if it has one? check all connections from battery to the controls, corrosion can start anywhere!--check carbs for varnish if sitting a long while!!could be a fuel problem?
