I have not replaced the upper or lower seals …. since owning the motor for 40 years and running it a few times every few years. As I type that, maybe replacing seals would be a good idea. What do you think of this rant so far? I do have the service manual, I guess I should read it.
I like the way you’re thinking! 😁
I see some surface rust, so starting with something simple, are the points clean? Also, I don’t think you’ll want to let the rust stay on the cam either, as the part of the points that touch the cam would probably prefer a smooth surface. That way, the rust won’t act like sandpaper.
