Condensor failure?

If you have spark at the points and no sparks at the other end (plugs ) the failure must be somewhere in between.

Condenser is the most likely suspect, if the condenser is OK the rest of the way is :

Not much other possibilities left : rotor - possible but not very likely, cap (not very likely),  cables (very unlikely).

If you change the condenser the spark should come back!
