Did you check the coil primary and secondary windings with an ohm meter?
In my opinion, it’s always best to replace the condenser.
If you need help with the test, let us know.
Photos of your magneto may help us.
My 1940 Champion S1F magneto information. I’m not sure
if your mag has the same components or not.
