Jim, Thanks very much. Now it has an external coil and what looks like a condenser hung on the outside and connected to where the grounding switch cable connects on the outside of the magneto. I do not see a ballast resistor, unless the coil is the type that has one internally. I do not know the function of that condenser on the outside.
There is too much grease on the inside and probably some got on the points. The points are in sad shape, and I will replace them. That may be the problem right there. As you know, there is place to put a modest amount of light oil, but looks like someone got heavy on the grease. I will replace the points and set the gap and see what happens from there---unless you or someone else suggests something different.
Thanks. A big help, particularly on what to do regarding the primary wire. Yes, I will stay away from the sandpaper, and try not to get greasy hands on the points. These are times when I need smaller fingers. Almost could not get the screw loose to get the bottom part of the points out. I had visions of stripping the head of the screw. Who knows the last time the points were changed.
