I need help please. I am not getting any spark at the coils. The coils are new I have replaced the points and condenser and still no spark. I broke a clutch cable shut it off a few days later I put on the new cable and went to start bike and never got it started I pulled the plugs and tried starting it but no spark.

Make sure the kill switch isn't on? haha, kidding. I'd look into the wiring. Clean connectors, check kill circuits for proper functionality etc

If you forgot one of the insulator washers your points are shortcuted to ground = no spark
