Default Replaced generator and voltage regulator on ironhead and now no spark! Please help

I have a 1975 Ironhead XLCH kicker. The battery started dying overnight so I got a new battery, new generator and new Voltage regulator. I put all the new parts on and went to start it and nothin. It was getting juice, the headlight turned out but wouldnt fire. I checked to see if it had any spark and nope. No spark. And on top of that, the battery still dies overnight. Please help, im a bit lost. Thank you

the new battery was left on too long testing the other new stuff, and burned the points tips so its not making the ground is needs to spark

320 paper between the points and do it turn the key see if it sparks then check for spark and or replace the points and condenser all together
