Thanks seakaye12 and crosbyman.
See the attached images, the first image is what it looked like when I purchased it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it hadn’t run for 40+ years. Compression was 55 lbs and only one coil was working. A donor motor provided the second coil, and both cylinders have an excellent spark now. The old style breaker points are absolutely lovely, never saw anything like it before. After new piston rings and a new head gasket the compression now is 69 lbs, not too bad I think. The final image shows it running earlier today. I was a bit worried about the water pump but as you can see it’s working fairly well. I also have the lower cowling and recoil starter, and both have already been painted. I will attach those once the engine runs a little bit smoother.
Thanks for all your excellent support.
