Thanks for your reply. Please refer to the attached picture. Everything looks nice and clean, with no cracks. Prior to removing the flywheel, I gently filed the points (and checked the gap), but it made no difference.
I seem to recall the shop that I bought the motor off of in 2007 stating that the points, condensers and coils were new, and their condition supports that. Under 25 hours of primarily salt water use since that time. Engine is always flushed with fresh water afterwards and washed with soap and water. Stored indoors.
Thanks,
John
