Thanks for the picture and the reply.

I have one question about the single wire going from each point set to the stop switch. I am assuming the only purpose for this wire from the points to the stop switch is to ground the points to turn the outboard off when the magneto is in the stop position.  For diagnostic purposes, if I disconnect this wire at both points and tape the end, it will have no effect when I reassemble the flywheel, set the magneto to start and spin the motor looking for spark.  Am I correct?
