I do get spark, however when I tried to disconnect the spark plug cable from the distributor cap (or whatever it’s called) it pretty much broke off. I cannot pull the rest of the cable out of the cap, and there is basically a spike left in the hole. I jam the cable back into the hole and this spike sticks into the center and (hopefully) makes contact with the wire. I have tested for spark since this happened by placing the plug against the head and pedaling. I am still getting spark.
