There is power on both sides of the the ignition coil until the ignition box cuts the ground side connection, which causes the spark. If no spark when cranking the engine but power to the coil, remove the negative coil wire and attach a jumper. with key on you ground the jumper and then remove the ground, you should get a spark every time you remove the ground.

If this happens then you have to find the issue with the ignition box, or the pickups.

BTW, I had an issue with the engine dying when I sat on the seat. Turned out to be the ground wire for the ign box was broken inside the insulation right at the connector.

I have no idea about the quality of their parts.

I hope you verified all the wiring is good.
