Success!!! I thought I had checked for spark but just in case, I went ahead and checked it again. I removed the spark plug and pushed the boot back on. I held it about 1/4" from the valve cover, hit the starter and NOTHING! No spark at all.
I then pulled the boot cover off of the coil and guess what? The green wire was broken off from the connector! Whoever had worked on it in the past had just stuffed the wires into the boot and shoved the boot back on causing the connector to crack. Evidently, on the last ride the vibration and bumps caused it to snap off.
I stripped the wire, installed a new connector and pushed it back on. I checked for spark again and had spark! Installed the plug, pushed the boot back on, hit the starter and it started instantly!
Replacing all the fuel and vacuum lines was a hassle but I'm glad I did it as they're all new and I won't have to worry about them.
Thanks again folks for all your help!
