Discussion:
No spark

Hello everyone I'm new to th forum but looking for advice on fixing my Yale forklift. It's an older gasoline model that I don't use very frequently. The key was accidentally left on by myself or my 3 year old that likes to sit on it. Once discovered I charged the battery and attempted to start. It will crank all day long but will not spark. So far I have replaced the following.

Ignition switch
Coil
Igniter
Plugs
Wires
Cap
Rotor
Complete dizzy

All of the to no avail.

I've also broken the looms apart to tract wires/ do resistance reading and all seems to be good. I purchased in a government auction last year and has been working great until now. I have a complete shop manual for it and have been over everything I can think of but still no spark so hoping to see if anyone else out there might have an idea? Very frustrating as it's been down over a month and I had a local Yale tech out that spent half a day using my tools and books and didn't figure out anything (luckily no charge) I'm a competent person but just can't seem to figure it out. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Fact of the week
Funerals in Spain typically occur within 24 to 48 hours of death, whereas in other European countries they wait one or more weeks. This rapid timeframe is a cultural norm grown from the past need to manage the warm climate without modern embalming.
