Default MVVS 45 with the Vlach ignition - Problem's

HELP !!! had a dead stick landing on my H9 Extra 260 today, the engine quite on me. Now for the life of me I cannot get it started.
The engine is run in at over 2 1/2 gal, without any cause for concern. Prop swings ok under compression, but no hint of a spark.
I can see the Fuel is flowing thru the sullivan screen filter. (2 filter set up, the first is a Dubro aluminium then thru the sullivan screen type.)
I have a Smart fly ignition kill switch, the light in on.
I have not tried to isolate the set up. All under the cowl and a lot of work to take the prop off to unplug the smart fly setup.

No spark, therefore I'm guessing I must first test the spark. The plug is good, grey white.

How can i test the ignition for a spark.
