Maybe?

I had a similar problem with my scimitar donor. It had been running fine for months then it sat for 4 weeks while i was away. On my return it would not start at all. I tried swapping coil, ht leads, rotor arm no difference so I checked the points with a multimeter. seems the points were not earthing when closed. A ran some sandpaper betwen the contact points and hey presto started first time.
So check the basic first.
