No spark on right side

Hi,

A week ago I was teaching a friend to ride. He was kind enough to lay down my scrambler at a wild 10mph. The damage was minimal, a cracked gearshift and bent front fender. I put a new gearshift on today, cut up the fender (it looks hot, I'll post some pics), and stomped down on the kick start - nothing. It doesn't start. Oh god.

I pulled the plugs and held them to the sides of the engine... no spark on the right. Swap L/R plugs, same thing. What could this be? I'm going to start by checking that the right plug wire is still securely attached, but after that I'm afraid I'm slightly lost.

Am I correct to assume that my points are fine as I have spark on the left? AH! Suggestions please!

Thank you,
Adam

[What bike do you have.
Most of these bikes have 2 sets of points and if yours does it is a good place to look. ......lm

Check the wires on your coil to make sure one isn't broken. Condensor may have picked this time to go south. Plug cap may have come loose from the wire. You can remove the point cover, turn the key on rotate the engine until the points close. You can check for fire with a screwdriver by opening/closing the points. If you then have fire, then simply reset the points to proper gap, I think it's .18 or so, don't quote meon this, Ed Moore's tuneup info works great. Charlie
