If the charging system checks out, a common place to look for a no-start condition is with the coil. Whether it's a distributor- or distributorless-type ignition system, the coil is basically just a big transformer that creates its own magnetic field to create the high voltage needed for spark. Measure the resistance between the coil's two primary winding terminals to check its condition. You can also check the secondary tower terminal's condition with a multi-meter.
