Jim and Teddy are both right, but Jim's test is quick and easy, Teddy's involves changing a part that you might not have handy. And even with a bad condenser you should still get a weak spark at the coil output, and a very visible one at the points themselves. You need to get power on, then off, at the negative side of the coil for spark to happen. A test light between coil negative and ground should blink rapidly as the motor turns over. If it's on all the time the points are not grounding the coil ngative; if it's never on either there's no power getting to the coil, no power getting through the coil, or the points are never opening the circuit (either because they are not opening, or the wiring to them or even the condenser is shorted to ground).
