check for spark, if you've got it it's not the dizzy, if you don't it could be there's a leak in your cap and it got wet. If that's the case you might just need a new cap and rotor. It could also be your coil or ICM though. I'd test them all if you've got time.

If its clicking when you try to turn your ignition, that means your battery is dead
