Where are you testing for the spark? If there's no spark at the plugs you need to check at the coil. If no spark there either, do you have 12V to the coil +ve? Do you get a spark on the king lead when you dab the -ve side of the coil to earth? If you do, it's an ignition amp/pickup/wiring problem. If not, it's a duff coil.

Not a problem, the owner's a bright spark!

Hope you sort it
