Some good news to report. I suspect I had a bad ground somewhere. I took the condensers/points out and re-installed them making sure tge coil wire wasn’t touching anything. Got a nice blue spark x2 and the motor started fine on the bench. Still wondering what caused the buildup on one side of the points and pitting on the other. I suspect it was a condenser that was out of range.
Tested the new (NOS) condenser and it had an acceptable value of .20 mF. See pics below.
Thanks for the help!
