Pull a spark plug wire out of the head, put an old spark plug (that works) in it and place the electrode of the spark plug near something that is metal (but place the wire/plug down, do not hold it). Have someone crank the motor and watch the spark plug to see if it sparks. If not, you have an ignition problem (probably your blaster coil). If it does spark then their is a problem elsewhere. Hope that helps.
