Spark is generated by feeding power into the coil, then cutting the power. The pulse causes the magnetic field in the coil to grow and then to shrink, and the movement of this magnetic flux through the coil's secondary winding is what generates the spark itself.
Flipping the kill switch on and off has the same effect as the point opening and closing, so it's no surprise that you get a spark when you do this, and it would seem to confirm that you have power to the coils and that the coils themselves are working.
If you're not getting spark when kicking the motor over, I'd be looking at the point, condensors, and their associated wiring.
Did you work on the points plate at all? If so, are you sure you got all of the connections in the right places? Post a picture of your points setup if you can.
