Just replaced points and condenser, and suddenly no spark.
Nada. Checked everything 3 times. I can only remember one occasion when I got a bad condenser; I really doubt that's the problem. Any quick checks or other suggestions?

Swap your old parts back...one at a time to see which one is bad? Check "fire" to your points by flicking them(cap off to do this) with ignition switch on.

Thanks.
Found it. Hot wire had fractured where it passes through the baseplate. Saw it when I swapped the points.
