New to this club so forgive me if I'm in the wrong part of the forum. So in a nut shell I have a XS400ES. It has been neglected and left for about 15 years.

I have it now and to date I have managed to free the engine and to my surprise fitted a battery and it all works all be it a flasher relay and  no spark, but there is a little power in the low tension lead from the coils ,. Its a new battery on the bike and I am a little stuck. there is power to turn the starter motor and the pistons have good compression, I have put a new condenser on still no spark from the coils ?

Help would be appreciated.
