Yamaha G2 Golf Cart No Spark Need Advise

Friend of mine brought me a Yamaha G2 golf cart that won't start and I need advise. First thing i did was test for spark and it has none. Put a test light on both terminals of coil and they both come live when I crank it over so i was hoping it was the coil. Got the new coil in to today and same problem, no spark at the spark tester. Now I'm thinking ignitor but at that price I would like to rule every thing else out first. So 2 questions, any way to test that ignitor? And what else can I check for before replacing it? thanks
 
There is probably a way to check the ignitor, but I don't know how to do it...however you can check the wiring going in and out of the ignitor and corresponding spade connectors. You might want to try a new spark plug it you haven't already.

One side of coil should blink your test light, if not igniter or pickup coil is bad
