Put a timing light on it and see if the timing is close. You may have slipped the timing chain. If the timing chain has slipped you could still have spark, just not at the right time.

tried checking wires for resistance? Too much build up would cause enough resistance to create an open.

You said new condenser, how about the points? Misgapped or burned points could also cause a weak spark. Did you put a timing light on it to see if the timing is right?

Not to hijack your thread but Ive got the same problem, Im getting gas cuz Im seeing at the top of the carb and the float bowl vents, But for some reason it own pours out from the rear and not the front, I can start with a pour of gas down the carb, I know the battery got weak from letting it sit there for a minute in the cold but had it jumped still showed same issue. But even before this Ive checked all my wires for resisistance and yielded anywhere from 9 k ohms to 13 k ohms so there is no open, I was going to check timing after i blew a hundred bucks on a timing light but now Im seeing my battery needs a recharge and feeling like the carb needs be tore down and inspected.
Sorry for long post but I need some suggestions from those more experienced than I. What Am I doing wrong?
