To all that have responded, it’s New Year’s Eve and I just could not ignore this outboard.  I think the correct term is obsessed.

I disconnected the single ground wire going to the stop switch from each point set and taped them, replaced the flywheel and nut.  I then turned off my workbench light and used my DeWalt drill to spin the motor.  I have spark, but a very very very weak spark in the test light at both plugs.  It is really dim or even intermittent.

Two new condensers are on order.
