If I am reading this right(1980) machine is that the year? That wire is going to the points. You have to remove the flywheel to get to them. They are usually the problem not the coil. (usually). If this is a solid state ignition that wire goes to the kill switch. Again flywheel has to come off to get to it. This can be a pain in the neck. I here toro is this a tecumpse motor? without a flywheel puller it can be a pain. I have broken a few flywheels before investing in a puller. Hope this helps.

I believe that this machine uses solid state ignition, but has two elements--one is a trigger/charger coil and the other is the ignition coil. Like you said, if it ain't broke---. Parts for this are spendy--hope it outlasts the engine.

No spark, lets start with the easiest, sure the plug is good? Not wet? With a clean dry plug still no spark, disconnect the kill switch, eigther at the ignition unit or at the switch itself (on the handle). If still no spark the ignition unit is bad. These are solid state they work or they don't. Hope this helps.
