Brad,
If you have 12 volts at the points, they WILL spark! Period! If they don't, check to see if they actually close enough to have the actual points really touch each other. If you have a volt meter, make sure that one side is actually grounded and the other side actually has 12 volts on it. I have seen it out of adjustment enough where the little cam does not let the points come closed enough to really touch with any pressure. Doesn't hurt to close points, take a little slip of 400 wet or dry sand paper and fold it over and open points, close them with a little finger pressure and sand the contacts together to brighten them up. Then they should have electrical contact to ground and should spark when opened.
Also check that little wire under the dizzy plate to make sure it is not frayed. Check all low tension wires to see if tight and not frayed.
If all that fails, have a beer.
Cheers,
Bob in San Diego
