If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
If you got an old suzuki, you need a multimeter- to determine if you got 12 volts at positive coil wire or 9 volts. Have you remove a spark plug, reattached plug wire, held against head and cranked it to see it you got spark?

Sorry but you need to put in more detail. There is not enough information. What is the status of the bike, new to you or have you owned it awhile, was it running before, have you done anything to it, how old is the battery, how is your charging system etc., etc., etc.,
The best responses will come when you provide a good background review of the problem and any steps you have taken, so give us more to go on. Oh and if you have power at the coils, it is not overly likely that you have a coil problem, there is more to spark than that.
Tell us more.

new to me, po claimed it was running, ignitor box looks like it's been changed, had it hooked up to my truck battery, not running of course, it appears to me that the po tried to fix it with no luck. it came with a clymer repair manual hint, hint. that,s why it was $350. it,s really a nice bike all orignal 23,xxx miles. i had a first year 550 and really liked it, so i thought this would be a good fixer-upper well i hope so anyway.

it appears according to the ohm meter the igniter is bad
No light .... at plug cap...?
"Little test light".... to test for approx 12 volts? ... at plug cap?
Little test light will not tell you anything there, well, unless you get zapped by the 30 thousand volt spark while holding it.
