Replaced ignit. Switch ,new plugs ,fresh gas,good compression on right bank,kind of weak on left bank. Possibly washed down when flooded w/ gas. Did run for short while over fueled a bit. Dissasembeld and cleaned carb & cleared all ports and orifaces .even hot wired it but now there is no spark at plugs. Appears to to be elect ignit. Juust a coil w mag. Pick up on side of flywheel

Hi,
First thing to try is separating the engine from the frame and rechecking the ignition. This is done by unplugging the wire (usually yellow or white) just to the right rear of the airbox.
If there is still no fire, then it is probably the armature. Replace and gap at 0.010-0.014" and a business card will make a makeshift gauge to do this.
Peace,
Clarke
