544 B18 No spark (was running two weeks ago) 444-544 1961

Like the subject says.

Everything was running great. Did a little wiring cleanup (replaced the wire from coil to points), and now it won't start. No spark.

I'm using an original Coil and ignition switch.

The wire to the points is installed.

I have verified the points are closed when on the flat, and open when on the lobe

The coil measures 10K and 4 Ohms

The Capacitor measures .3 mF or 300nF

There is 12V at the Coil +

It's a 61 that has been converted to B18/12V with 12V coil.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
