Bike sat for a little while (a month). now it woun't start, I bought a new plug. Can't see a spark when the plug is pulled and grounded. I get a very weak spark from the plug wire when grounded. I'm not sure how strong the battery is. Seems to me like a coil problem, how can I confirm? Thanks, Luke

wow tc 120...and i thought i was old school...anyway you should check the stator and points...what ever set up they have there..looks like its under that plate by the gearshift(two screws)make sure the contacts are cleaned and put some electric tune up grease on the contacts there, and on the coil connections,and the sparkplug connections. (i think the prob is your coil) but also a bad wire going to your kill switch could cause problems too...good luck
