I have a Clarklift that has always been a very reliable machine for me. I have not used it in a couple of years because I have not needed to stack seed in the barn that it is in.

I know I needed to use it this year so I bought and installed a brand new battery for it. After struggling to get it started, I checked the spark and found there was none.

I checked the plugs and they looked OK. There was no spark at any of the plugs. I looked at the cap and rotor and both look OK. I had another GM coil and coil wire handy, so I swapped them out. I am fairly certain the GM coil would be OK because it is a Delco distributor. Is that correct?

I am not certain what to check next? How do I test the power that goes into the coil? Should I buy a brand new coil? How do I check the resistor (and where is it)?

Lastly, I am also a little concerned because none of the gauges or gauge lights are coming.... but unfortunately, I don't recall if they come on before.

The model is a C20-B with a 4 cyl engine and delco distributor.

Any help would be appreciated.

One more thing, it turns over just fine. Lots of power to the starter.
