James, In the event they are only gray oxide coated but otherwise good (NOT badly burned or pitted), I clean/buff/polish them non abrasively by dragging a dollar bill or shop cloth etc between them to try n shine them up. In the event they are badly burned or pitted or carboned up badly, I replace them. Its possible to use a point file to clean them up n knock off carbon and high build ups to make them run again, but once you harsh abrasivley remove the shiny silvery coating thay wont last as long.

Look for pits or build ups when you inspect them and a point file will dress them up but if they are too deeply pitted and badly carboned n burned Id get a new set.

A weak or bad or improper sized or poorly connected or grounded condensor can contribute to premature point failure as well as excess current from an improper sized ballast resistor or the incorrect coil.

If in doubt Id replace them and the condensor if its suspect. Check n clean all the grounds n connections n terminals etc.

Ol John T and all
