I had a problem with the wires that go TO the coil. Not the plug wires,but the leads that go TO the coil. They were too loose and would intermitently get power. I just crimped them and they stuck better

Your post didn't indicate if you had power thru the starter when you hit the starter button. Does the engine actually turn over or do you lose power when you attempt to engage the starter?

Double check all of the connections starting from the battery on out to the coil. Check the battery too. Also, the ignition switch itself can be disassembled, and contacts cleaned. I recently had an intermittent problem with the switch. Once I cleaned the contacts all is good.
