    Ignition Problems,need help!!

    I have a 1978 GS 400 and i am not getting any spark at the spark plugs and the points.The battery is new and fully charged and the rectifier and regulator is brand new.Before i parked the bike i had a problem with the left spark plug not firing.When it was running it was charging well.It has 25,000 miles on it and was running just before i stored it. What shouldI do and check?

    Thanks,
    Joseph

    Fuses
    Coils
    Points
    Condensors
    spark plugs
    Wiring between any of these 5

    That should do it

          Add the ignition switch and clutch switch as well.

              Run down the wires for the starter and clutch switches. Make sure you have power going in and out of them. Make sure the kill switch isn't grounding out in the run position. These switches can corrode and cause problems like yours.
