Reading this reminds me that you probably need to check that 
you're getting power to the coil WHILE you're cranking the starter. 
Sometimes the ignition switches fail in such a way that they put 
power out to the ignition when ON, but not in START.

Note that this would keep you from getting spark AND keep the 
electromagnetic pilot jets closed.
