Is nine months long enough?

Is it getting spark? Is the wiring for all of the safety switches good? Is the coil getting power?

Run a jumper directly from the battery positive to the coil positive, then crank it  and see if you have spark.   Is the ignition module connected correctly?  If you connect it backwards you'll fry it.  The condenser connects to the positive terminal on an Onan.  This smoothes out voltage spikes that can fry the ignition module.

Have you tested the ignition module trigger?

Not to hijack Paul's thread. Getting ready to bench run a 220 Red lead & condenser to coil positive from pickup. Black lead to negative. Does one need to ground coil negative post to the engine block?

No, just ground the engine.  Battery + to red wire, and battery + to starter solenoid to crank.

Thanks Bill. Now following with interest as I can't get any spark from my bench test motor. :angry-banghead:

Coil test readings match almost exactly what Paul's do. Ignition module passes manual specified test. 12 volts direct to coil from battery.
