Measure the resistance of the coil at the primary and secondary windings... If that checks out, it could be the ignitor...

Also check to make sure that your rotor is secure... they're known to wobble off if they get loose.

i doubt highly that you'll find a new one anywhere, but a dizzy is expensive in the hundreds, try and find one on ebay for 1/4 the price.
