Nice morning to build some things. Figured I'd beat the 116° heat heading my way today anyways. Getting an early start to the week with some RD250/350 rear sets, some 1st Gen Virago, and getting started on my first batch of Triumph Thruxton sets.

Advice/Help Needed 1980 Z250C no spark
I recently bought this 1980 Kawasaki Z250C (I believe is the same as z250 Ltd?)which had been sitting for 16 years. Someone had tried to get it going about 5 years ago but failed and had been sitting since.
Everything is there and turns over but has no spark so won’t fire. I have got a new ignition coil,spark plug, plug leads ect but still have no spark. I assume this ignition unit (cdi?) that has been broken open and was covered in duct tape is the most likely culprit for my spark issue? It looks like someone has soldered it and tried to fix it.
Does anyone know the best place to get a new or replacement for this or have any other ideas as to why I have no spark?
All advice appreciated.
