If you haven't already done so, check the coils. The originals are prone to cracking.

Hi
i have power so assume its not to do with the kill switch or the power switch beneath the side panel, also i have no spark anywhere so if it were a coil i assume it would fire on the other cylinders

if you have a 79 it maybe the pickups on the timing advancer they were a weak point on the 79's I understand.
Are you getting a pulse signal when you crank it over?
