Default coil problems

K..
I found a Mccolloch Proscaper 28S in the local trash bin. (wife said leave it)
well I put it in the garage and left it for a few hours. I went back out and looked at it for a few min's seen that the throttle cable was snapped but other than that no probs. I primed it with the gas that was in it. pulled it a few times and she jumped to life!!! SWEET.
well I removed the engine from the pipe, grip/ kill switch. pulled her threw a few times and she jumped to life!! sweet.
Well I removed all the weedwacker garbage and started trimming the excess Aluminum. I removed the coil to gain access (I was gental with it.) well I trimmed and then I re-installed the coil mag pickup clearance .010 +-. I hooked the crank up to a cordless drill and spun it @ some good speed and no spark. the primary coil isn't grounded or anything. is there any way to check it using a meter? or should I start spending $$ on it?
