Tec AV520 no spark

Last grasp at the straws.
I believe the engine has an external coil. If so try this. Disconnect the points wire from the coil. Connect an ohm meter to the wire from the points and to ground. Slowly turm the engine and see where the points open and where the flywheel magnets are in relation to the coil legs. Do they line up?

I have an 80's AV520 670-05F 3hp 2cycle vertical shaft engine that does not have spark.
I have replaced the coil, condenser, and points. The kill switch is good and actually not connected at the moment. The points and plug are gapped correctly, the flywheel magnets are good, the air gap is fixed on this model, I can feel the spark when holding the plug wire and spinning the flywheel by hand but when i insert the plug in the wire and ground to the engine there is nothing. I am completely stumped why I'm not getting spark. I have another same motor that gets the exact same meter readings at every point I check and gets great spark when tested by hand.
It is acting like the kills switch is connected and off even though it is not. Is there anything that could be grounding causing this no spark issue?

For about $15 -20 you can eliminate the points and condenser and go electronic. I've done this to several two stroke saws and other two stroke equipment. All ran much better with a visibly brighter spark than points due to the nature of the sharp break in the circuit that collapses the magnetic field far faster.

I suggest you back up a few steps. Judging a spark by feel is much too subjective. Get a $5 spark tester on amazon, set it on 10 or LM, and observe your spark. You hope for bright and blue, and it's best donw in a dark environment. If you want to, do the same on your other motor and you will know if the spark is equally strong. . I've Been judging spark visually since 1958! Feelings are for lovers.
