Put some charge in the battery and start the engine.
Check the battery voltage exceeds 13.6 volts with the engine speed of about 1000RPM. If not check the regulator and altenator.

If the engine has points, there is a short circuit across them or if it has an igniter, the output stage has a short circuit on it. When you turn the ignition off, you get a spark.
