UPDATE:

Still not running but

put new condenser. So new coil and new condenser

Found the instructions to set point on this magneto. set the point to be 0.020. Seemed like it was quite a bit more than that but set it right.   No Spark. Had it with tester but not at plug. Adjusted the points a little wider thinking maybe it was wider before for a reason. Same.  Plug gap looked wide and didn’t have a gauge with me so couple taps and narrowed it. Very nice blue spark!  Put it in the barrel and it popped a couple separate times gave a puff of smoke each time and that was it. I have the gas tank removed and just have a small bottle connected to the carb

I think I’ll clean carb one more time and get the plug gap (I think I read 0.027 somewhere) correct with a gauge

Any other thoughts or suggestions I’m all ears.  Really want to get this thing running and it ran nice for 5 seconds at one point early on so I know it has it in it
