Haven't had time to pull tank so pulled plug wire and hooked up extra plug and got no spark at all.  So that means what?

When you have time to pull the tank off make sure you didn't inadvertently disconnect one of the small wires that connect to the coil while you were working on the head plug leak.

EDIT: I just looked at my bike. If you get down on your knees and look up under the left front corner of the tank you can see the coil wires without taking the tank off. Even if they are still connected it wouldn't be a bad idea to to pull them off and make sure the connectors are not loose/corroded.

Oncet upon a time one of our members reported riding home, parking, got off, went in the house, came out an hour or so later & Dead Bike,, Nuthin, mang.,. The connector under the tank had vibrated loose & it Juuust got him home,,
\If youre gonna pull the tank, leave the speedo cable on the tank, be aware of the O-ring on the transmission end. IF they fall they tend to jump behind the starter, so, cover that hole first,And, before ya pull the tank, prepare a place to lay it down first & make it raised up enough so the speedo cable isnt bent too hard,
Sometimes gettin the petcock past the frame is almost impossible. Lift the rear of the tank & slap it to the side as ya lift,, Its sure liable to scratch the fram. OR, Drain the tank & pull the p[etcock,,Now is a good time to put a Raptor on.

Not at all. You should be patting yourself on the back. You stuck with it and got it fixed.

The devil is in the details, especially when it comes to wrenching on your own stuff.   Wink  Glad you found the problem!

It shows the green/orange wire is the pickup coil for the ignitor.
