    What’s wrong with the ignition?  Your coils don’t look great but they are not that bad looking either!  Have you tried polishing the points?  Take them off the plate and dis-assemble the pieces.  Polish up the contacts ’til they SHINE with fine grit (600-1200) wet-dry paper or a polishing stone.

    Hopefully it will spark after that. 

    Good running engines;  Love their sound!
