    Frank,
    I think you are right about the points as I think about it more. Even though the cam profile is different I still doubt these points are ‘maker’ type. I’m thinking they close up in time for the coil to charge the condenser and then break to fire the plug. I’d have to study it a bit closer to find out for certain but I bet you’re right about them still being breaker type points. I am quite impressed with the spark this magneto makes. I don’t think I have found another yet that will make a strong spark with any less rotational velocity than this one.
