Stihl br450

I've got a br 450 that I just acquired, I am trying to get it going. I noticed that it has a new primer bulb, air filter, Spark plug, and a brand new OEM coil. No matter what I do I am not able to get fire/spark. I checked the primary side and secondary side of the coil to find that it is in spec, as well as checking the kill circuit which is also working as it should. There is also continuity between the coil and the engine. I work on a lot of these units but this is the first time that I have encountered this and have not been able to find anything online about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please help for the love of God please lol

    Did you try with the kill wire disconnected from the coil?
     
    What did you gap the coil air gap at?
     
    Is the spark plug gapped at  .020"?
