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
