Answer
Alejandro,

If you are not getting spark check upstream of the ignition.  First, check the coil for output.  Then, check the wires going to the coil to see if you are getting 9 volts run and 12 volts start mode.  There is also a transistorized ignition module that could go bad.  Check these and email me back.
