I think I am nearly ready to re-install the genset in the motorhome but wanted to start it first before install.
It cranks, no start.
Not getting any spark at the plugs.
Check the points? I have looked all over this thing - where are the points????
My manual tells me about adjusting, but does not tell me where they are located.
I have followed the wire from the coil and it goes inside the case between the engine and the generator.
Do I have to take the generator off to get to the points?

Well, thats because a BGE Spec K generator is electronic ignition (No points).  You need to follow the trouble shooting procedure (Appendix A-2) in the service manual.

Thanks DaveVA78Chieftain. This was a great help.
I followed the tests and determined my crank trigger is good, but looks like the coil is outside of its parameters.
Time for a coil.
