Will,
I can think of a few things to check.
1. Did you remember to put the rotor back on? (Just thought I'd ask?)
2. Did you set the sensor to actuate when the rotor is on a plug contact. If
it fires between contacts the spark will be lost.
3. Are the rotor and cap the proper mates?
Those are the only things that I can think of that will stop the spark in the
manner you suggest.
Let me know how it comes out.
