Sorry I can't tell you right off hand but the service manual that you can get in the Tech Library (see top of page), has that information in it.

Not what I have but most say get the motion pro puller. Points would be the first place I look. broken wires or with the outer insulation worn off and touching. Get a known good spark plug.

Bypass ignition and off on switch on handle bars if there is one. Make sure the points are opening and closing and they are clean. Lots of times the cam on the flywheel chews thru the rub pad on the point follower and the points don't open. If that is the case you need a new flywheel without a rusted point cam. hope not

Yes, clean the points. #1 cause for no spark.

You may need to go back to original coil unless it was missing/damaged. Lots of people put on a new coil, fix the REAL problem, and then don't have spark because the new coil doesn't work.
