    Good News! Got Spark .. I was able to get flywheel off with not much trouble. I took off the movable part of the points and noticed it was pitted. Was able to sand and emery it down pretty good. I noticed that the post where the points go into a brass bushing was greasy and oily. I cleaned up that and need to know if it should have any grease when I button down the flywheel.
    I did not mess with taking off fixed part of points to try and get to condenser. Cleaned up the magnets and tested with piece of metal . they feel strong. Just tried puitting the flywheel back on and on second pull it sparked.

    Now for setting the points. do I just rotate the flywheel till points are at widest opening and gap at 20?
    Does that post on the points get any lube?
    Now getting excited to finish putting that carb back together.
