Looking for some help. Not a Case but I'm hoping someone has some suggestions. A friend picked up an Oliver 77 gas. It has sat 2-3 years or so. No spark to spark plugs? I told him to see if he had spark at the points. He says if he opens and closes the points he can see an arc. There is no spark going to the spark plugs from the dist cap. Dick, OR.
 
The spark he is seeing. Is the spark coming from the coil wire or is it at the points?

If he is getting spark at the points that means the condenser is bad or the points are very dirty. He needs to replace both the points and condenser.
 
I would check the items mentioned by others below first. I had a bad ignition switch that was letting enough voltage through to get a weak arc at the points, but plugs wouldn't fire.
 
The spark is at the points. He probably needs to replace the condenser, rotor & cap?? The points look good. Dick
