Hi.
Before condemning the coil, try ringing it with a scope. You could also wire it up like a conventional coil, points (just some wire to make and break) and a 0.22uf cap across your home made Points. Try with 6volts whereupon you should get a healthy spark, mind and disconnect all electronics. Did it this way on many engines that we did in my previous job. Never had a coil duff, was always the electronic control that was at fault.
