I would think the lights would blink all the time but I don't know for sure.
Just check the coil to make sure it's getting a signal from the ignition. I'm guessing it isn't.
Also check, do you have a kick/electric switch on the ignition? Maybe it vibrated between the settings?

No kick start on this one. Basically I turn the key on and it cranks with the button, but no fire..
Thanks to all who is helping!

Give Scott at hillside a call, he's super helpful what I've seen, maybe he can help you diagnose..I'm suspecting a dead ignition but he can likely tell you what wires to check if you don't know yourself.

I had a strange ignition issue a while back, started running erratic, then no start, no lights on the dynatek module, I scraped and wiped with brakeclean the mounting areas for the module, which is also the ground for the module, it didn't look to be dirty or have a bad connection, but solved the problem.
If that doesn't correct the problem, I also had an issue with a DTT external ignition module where there was too much voltage drop to the coil while cranking, under 9 volts volts or so, the ignition wouldn't fire.
A quick test for low or no voltage to the coil, - hook a jumper wire from the battery (+) to the middle post on the coil, should have two white wires to that terminal, see if it fires.
Also check that the white wire from the coil to the module is intact.

If it was me I'd check to ensure the ignition had power, those wires can break down there, and if so I'd pull it off and clean it. Maybe a piece of junk got caught in the optics or something silly.

Having a brain fart.. how do I do that? I don't remember how it gets power.. haven't worked on it in a couple years since I built it.
