Hi, I've got no spark, I've changed the coil and plug cap and used 3 different plugs.

I have power to the coil but no spark all else seems to work.  It was getting hard to start and seemed low on power so I had the carb pulled and cleaned. after that... no spark?

sounds like the stator is bad.

the coil has constant power to it.
while the engine turns the magneto turns on the end of the crankshaft.
it has a magnetic contact that when it passes the contact of the stator underneath it; it breaks the contact of the ground to the coil, causing the coil to spark.

check the stator and the magneto for dirt and rust, if so clean it off and see if it starts.
if no dirt or rust or it doesn't start after cleaning then the stator is most likely bad.  
Keep it RUBBER SIDE DOWN!!
