#1 - change your plug. 1st thing every time, even a perfect looking plug, do not waste any additional time on anything else until you're sure it's not the plug. so many timesso many of us disassemble all kinda of shit and then all we had to do was swap the plug. learn from others mistakes!

#2 - disconnect any kill switch. This is not always super obvious especially with a CDI, but 78 you're still points (right?). it is a quick check to make sure it's not just the switches stuck turned to off. You should be able to trace the plug cable back to the HT coil. There's a wire outta the coil to ground (green?) and a wire coming in that's maybe black and white. trace that black and white wire to any connectors, disconnect anything except directly the black and white directly from the engine

#3 - clean the points. look up fred's guide in the wiki, there's details in there.

#4 if still nothing try tracing it back from one end or the other. a multimeter will help. check you get power out of the engine on the black/white wire, just the wire itself disconnected from everything outside the engine. if no, you know it's in the stator (probably points). if yes power outta stator, check that it's getting power to the coil, check the plug wire with the boot disconnected etc on down the line til you identify where the break is.
