    Did you plug the two wires back in? Did you mark the position of the rectifier/ advancer? Did the keyway fall out? Maybe you pulled a wire off the coil by accident. Try taking a pic and posting it here.

    see that black box? it has to be set with a feeler gauge, so check your manual and make sure it is set correctly. Also, that piece is magnetized, so make sure you set the gap correctly. The same thing happened to me when I rebuilt my last motor. My feeler gauge felt perfect, what I didn't know was it was sticking to the magnet side and my spark was weak or sometimes non-existent.
