u can bypass the lot by taking a wire from the + on the battery to the black side of the coil, it will then act like the ignition is on if you just press the wire into the connector and onto the coil top

u'll deffo know u are getting power to it then

the green wire(which is what you are testing) splits, one half goes to the rev counter and the other goes to pin one of the ignition module thats a singal wire only, its the wrong side of the coil, thats not the problem with the lack of power.

if your getting a good spark then the coil, dizzy and leads are ok

your power lost is poss boost or fuel
