Unhappy 1985 Suzuki DR100 - no spark.

I have a 1985 DR100 in my family that has been 'abandoned' for some time. It was going to be junked so I figured I'd try to get it another chance at life.

Everything looked good, it has compression, gas tank has no rust, but I'm not getting any spark to the spark plug. When I turn on the headlights and try to kickstart it, the headlight glows though.

What can I do to try to troubleshoot this?
