Answer
Disconnect your ground wire from the coil.  Test and see if you have spark.  If you do you have a faulty kill switch/interlock safety switch.  

you didn't put the coil in upside down did you?     Are the points closing completely? Run a piece of white paper through the points to remove any oily residue.  Oily residue will prevent an engine from sparking.   The oil coating is put on the points during manufacturing to prevent them from rusting while on the shelf.
