Default NO SPARK 01 ELECTRAGLIDE

&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; What's up members. I just bought an 01 electraglide carb with 8,000 miles. The other day I was riding and stopped for gas and when I tried to start the bike to leave I had no spark.
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; My local dealer checked the coil and it is good. They said they could not check the ign. module because it is one of those "plug in a different bike and try it situations" so I am trying to do that tomorrow. So the last component would be the crank position sensor, which I pulled out to inspect and it looks brand new.
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; And even though my title says 01 and my vin tag prod. date says 12-00, there is no cam position sensor under the inspection cover and obviously no wire coming out of the cam cover. Which I find strange because my Clymer service manual says that 1999, 2000 and 2001 models have a cam position sensor (CMP)
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; One question I have is\\; If you put a test light to the wires coming from the crank sensor should you get any indication of power when you turn the engine over? Is that how I can test the sensor? Thanks for any help and suggestions

The easiest way to test the crank sensor is to replace it. It's not expensive, and more often than not, it's the cause of the problem you describe.
