Dave,
Sad but true about the points made today. I have an idea I’ve used on other contact surfaces. Have anyone heard of a burnishing tool? It is a tool for replacing contact surface material for relays & such. The tool actually transfers metal to the contact surface. Not inexpersive at $40.00 per tool & looks like a big ball point pen. It acts like a file only reverses metal transfer. I have one from my electronics days somewhere.
Another idea is get a very small rat tail file & elongate the slotted space on the new points so the adjusting screw actuates the points correctly.I was so lucky whan I built old omc motors, the parts were still out there. You can bet the capacitors ( are pure junk) They lose their dielectric value as magnetos require tough condensers ( actually capacitors) Condersers make moonshine!
Last time I talked about caps another member said porsilin caps are available now for magnetos. They can be installed in the old cap cans to look all stock appearance if desired
.P.S. Keep everything spotless clean using acetone. Put a wrap of masking tape on the coil heals, install flywheel by hand & turn to see if coil heals are rubbing, get as close as possable. When the heals pass over the second & thrird magnets at the exact time the points should break for max spark.
