Wiring issues was created by luke.fabbri

I have a 1970 HT1 that has no spark. Poking around with a test light, I see that there isn't any power coming from the stator to the coil. Does anyone know if this might be wired incorrectly?

All you need for spark on that model is the black (or black/white) out of the magneto directly to the ignition coil.  Nothing else.  No Battery, nothing but the one wire.   

It's a magneto...  test light won't be helpful.  In my experience 90% of the time all you need to do to get spark is clean the point contacts.  No need to remove flywheel.  You can work through the window in the flywheel.

(Red line in diagram is black wire from points, components circled in blue are under the flywheel)

looks like you have it wired direct in your pic, so as MarkT says, give points a scratch,-- & i bet she runs.

Just also thinking--if you've had the flywheel off be sure to tighten it well or the locating crank key could suffer. In saying 'that' if damaged--as in broken off--it'll still spark, just not in the right place.
