Good morning. Thanks to everyone on this forum. i now have spark. I found out I had no 12 volt power going to the spark units & the coils. I found a bad connector in the headlight bucket. This connector is the 9 pole connector that comes from the RH switch in the handlebar. I sort of fixed that connector by wiggling it around & then I had 12 volts. I have spark now! Yeah. :)  Now on to tackle the carbs. Thanks again guys. Scott Jones.

Did you tighten up the female contacts and put some dielectric grease in all of the connectors everywhere on the wiring harness?

It will help with general reliability.
