Default Cub 123 turns over, won't start

I have been away from here for quite some time. A 1987 Avion travel trailer came into our lives a little over 3 years ago and it has really dampened my gardening enthusiasm! I have vowed to get back at it this year, but I make no guarantees.

Finally had a chance this evening to look at my Cub 123. With a good battery it will turn over but not fire. I smell gas, so I think that is OK (fresh gas). I'm thinking there is no spark. I have never serviced this area of my 123 since I have owned it (maybe 5-6 years now?), so I thought I would get a new coil, plug, plug wire, points, and condenser. I think I need to clean up some electrical connections, too.

This 123 is my favorite GT for tilling the garden.. it has a #1 tiller on it and it works like a champ when the tractor is running. Sure would like to get it going again!

Good place to start? Where do you like to get parts?
