KE laser no start

I have a KE laser 1.6 carb. I have replaced coil & distributor & still have no spark at plugs. I am completely lost, can anybody help please.
Thank you for any response.

Is the new coil properly grounded. You usually need to scratch off some paint on the coil (where the retaining bracket touches/fits).

It is not the std round coil, it is module type coil, I cleaned body where coil mounts and I have replaced engine control module on fire wall, still no spark, dist came off a running vehicle.

Ok - understood. Still got the old coil & dissy ?? maybe try changing them back (separately) to isolate the problem.

From memory, there is a black module inside the distributor called an ignitor....about the size of a matchbox, that can pack up. Easy to replace, needs to have thermal paste under it though. If this packs up, no spark.

Something like this:

I have tried all the swap with old & new, I have put both units on a friends laser & they work ok.

Geez that's weird. Might be time to get a auto elec to look at it ???
Maybe also check all your fuses & relays - to make sure one hasn't blown.
Engine is cranking over - just no spark ????
