Default 1999 Superglide spark issues, please help.

I need help, parked my bike for a couple days, went to start it and it turns over but doesnt start. I changed the plugs, checked wires, no spark from plugs when tested. Pulled the plug on the back of the ignition coil and there is three prongs labeled a b c. I put a voltage tester on each one and only the middle one b lights the voltage tester when the ignition is turned on. Does this mean that my ignition coil is bad? Im trying to avoid taking to mechanic, if its igniton coil i can change that but dont want to buy if not problem, Please help, Thanks, Seneca

If the battery isn't fully charged, it won't start either. Not being a smartass, but battery is usually an issue...

Agreed to make sure battery is fully charged first. Coil won't fire at something like 8 or 9 volts or less.
