Default Kohler KT17 - No spark

My 1711 with a Kohler KT17, had a bad oil leak when I bought it a few months ago. Took the engine out and replaced the gasket at the bottom of the cylinder. Since then it has been a little hard to start but I could always get it to fire over. Now its just dead. Checked the spark yesterday and it would spark weakly and intermittently.
Went out to work on it today and I am not getting any spark at all. I also noticed that the coil was too hot to touch and I had only been cranking on the engine maybe 10 seconds. Does this sound like the coil is just done or is there something else to try?
