Hi Peter, been there m8. When you say no spark at plugs have you got them earthed to a head bolt - the spark on these old girls are very weak even at there very best !.
Had starting problems with my bike after being laid up for 6 months, turn out to be old petrol. So if its older than 2/3 months then ditch it and try fresh - but make sure you have some sort of spark at the plugs first!.
If not it could be as simple as the kill switch or kill switch wiring plug - had an issue with mine a couple of years back - new harness but black/ white wire from the Rhs switches was badly corroded giving no spark!. Don't give up mate, where are you, someone maybe close by to help out !.

Also a good thing to check out is that you have a good earth at the coil. Some people even expose the bare frame under the coil mount to ensure a good earth. With both plugs laid out on the head, you should be able to turn it over by the kick start fast enough by hand to give you a spark !.

29k50 cdi's can be iffy.
they will work for short periods or if you tap them.

CDI Faulty. Next time it chucks it whip the tank off and shove a plug in the cap and earth it.
Turn the engine over....no spark....tap the cdi and it will hopefully produce a spark. I have 3 cdi's with intermittent faults that work when tapped.
Good Luck.

Sounds like it could be coil. Fingers crossed the new one cures the problem.  |

I'm guessing CDI unit. There was a bunch of them over a certain year that were prone to faults. I've seen people fit clamps around them and this seems to work......
