Westwood 1300S No spark?

My Westwood was running fine then just stopped whilst going along.
There is no spark when I tested the plug and I cannot see any loose leads.
Any ideas what can be wrong?

Many thanks

I had this problem with a T1200. It turned out that the coil was failing when hot, but was fine when cold. A new coil fixed it.
A search on the web revealed a US supplier which was half the price of UK. I can't remember its name now though.
HTH.
