Default No spark issue

Hey all...I have a general idea on what the issue is but, I would like some input on this please.I am working on a 1998 Harley sportster 883. First off there was an issue with the diaphram at the bottom of the carb. (float bowl assem.) repaired that, now the bike is not firing. Fired previously. We have replaced the coil and the plugs, checked fuses and ohmed out the wires and they check out good. I am leaning towards the ignition box. Does any of you have an idea before I replace this part?

That's pretty much all there is left.
