QuestionHi i have a cb350 before i started to rebuilt my cb350 it started up now i cant get no spark ,i dont know what to do
Answerjustinj, is it a CB350K or CB350F? Twin or four-cylinder? Gotta be specific when asking technical questions.
No spark conditions come from a couple of possible sources:
Dirty contact faces on the ignition points.... clean them shiny bright.
Points not opening/closing.... set point gap to .014 - .016" on the highest part of the point cam. Then, move the point backing plates until the points OPEN at the F and LF marks (or F1-4 and F 2-3)on the rotor/stator indicators.
No power to the coils.... check power from battery to ignition switch to the KILL switch, then down to the + side of the coils. You can use a cheap $5 12v test light from any auto parts store.
Dead/dying battery.... this is a battery-powered ignition system. Use a fully-charged, load- tested 12v battery as a power source.
Failed/failing condenser... look for excessive arcing across the points, as you are cranking the engine over. Can be loose wire connections or failed components.

I don't think the coils failed while you were rebuilding the engine. Check the spark plug caps for 5k ohm resistance values, though.
