    is there 12 volts at the postive post of the coil?
    if yes then there is an issue between the distrubor and coil
    if no then follow the power wire back to the plug at the fire wall and check for voltage there. if there is no power there then move to the ignition switch plug at the stearing colum and see if there is power there.
    check that stuff. if it doesnt help ill need more info. what type of ignitions system do you have.

    You can still have 12v at the coil when the switch is in the run position. You need to check if you have power to the coil in the start position. Do you have the small wires on the solenoid to tthe correct post? Like Bryant said, we need to know more on what your working on...year?...Dura Spark?...points?
