Hey guys!! I was working on my property today with my naa when all of a sudden it died on me. Tried to start it back up no luck. It turns over strong but no spit or sputter to give any indication that it wants to start. Plenty of gas, getting gas to the carb....also took the carb off and cleaned it with no luck. I'm stuck and not that knowledgeable with them. What could it possibly be and what would be some next check points to hit. Thanks!!

Sounds like you've ruled out fuel delivery (unless you smelled gas and it flooded before it died.)
So, think electrical. Turn the key on and open the points from a closed position and see if they spark.
if OK
check the points for wear and deposits and gap
clean the rotor tip with fine emery
and razor knife the dist cap poles inside to chip off any scale.
Twist and steel wool the cap pole sockets
Unless of course they are already clean as a whistle.
Look for loose electrical connections everywhere.
cheers.

The points would spark no matter how far gone they are if juice is getting to them -- maybe the coil to dist wire is at fault.
Then like the man said, test your ignition switch.
Pick yourself up a couple of little alligator clips and make up a jumper/test wire that you can clip to ignition terminals.

If it fails again in the near future, check the wire between the
coil and the distributor/points. Where it passes through the side
of the distributor is a common failure point.
The insulation breaks down and it will intermittently ground out.
Changing the coil may have jarred the wire enough to un-ground it.
