It's ok to check for spark that way.
If no spark,remove the dizzy cap & check in there-they eat these for breakfast!
Can you hear the fuel pump running when you switch on the ignition?If not check the fuel pump relay.

you can check for a spark but first when you turn on the ignition do you hear the fuel pump run for a few sec's ? if not check the ovp relay & the fuel pump relay . if you hear the pump run you can test for a spark but it's common for the dizzy cap to suffer from dampness if they sit unused for any time..if you do the basic checks if no luck post back

You do need a volt meter to check that you do have 12 volts onto the plus side of the coil, you should also check the CPS and that should measure 1k ohm roughly

The spark should be blue and jump a ½ inch gap in free air
