Might want to try a new battery... when the old one is completely dead... weird things can happen. Theoretically, you should be able to start an engine with a dead battery by jumping... and you probably could start this one if you completely disconnect the dead battery and hook the jumper cables directly to the battery cables. To answer your second question, yes, if you hold your coil wire a fraction of an inch away from a ground (the engine block) while cranking... you should see a healthy spark! If you don't, you have: bad points or condenser, bad coil, bad wires or connections, or no electricity! You might also want to check the condition of the battery cables and connections at the generator and voltage regulator. Might as well check it all out while you're at it!!!
