put my engine back together today and tried to start her with no joy. Turns out theres no spark coming the coil checked the voltage with a multimeter and have 13.65volts check to see if there was a spark to the body work and nothing. A new crank shaft sensor, rotor arm and dizzy cap has been fitted am i right that its the coil at fault. What does everyone think? Thanks jack
