Even though your points are new clean them with

Then run a piece of clean paper with alcohol on it

to make sure there is no oil on them.

Always deoil them after using feeler gauges

Good luck.

Steve is right on here!   I can not emphasize enough the importance of clean points.  When you know your components are good.  Spin the motor with an electric drill with the plugs out.  There is something about polarizing the electrical system by spinning the motor a little faster to get the electricity going the right direction.  There is nothing wrong with your magnets unless they are cracked or broken.  When I have had a bad condenser the motor would usually misfire spit an sputter kinda thing.
