Those magnetos were made before OMC learned how to make them to last only 5 years. The no-spark problem almost (usually) always can be cured by proper cleaning of the breaker points. By that, I mean remove them from the motor and take them apart. Pay attention, and do not lose any of the small insulators. Do one set at a time so you have a sample of how they go together.
OK, so you have them apart. Now polish each contact individually so it is smooth and shiny bright. Reassemble and set gap to .020" at widest opening. Give them one final cleaning with a piece of lint-free paper drawn between the contacts. Tell ya what–I’ll bet you will have spark.
As for the condensers, yes they are available, part #300153. But even though you test them and they come up as "bad", the stupid things work anyway.
