Re: won't start
Sounds like an ignition problem. With the ignition on measure the voltage at the movable point with the points open and closed. With the points open you should be getting the battery voltage and with them closed it should be zero. If not zero clean or change the points.
To clean the points run a 400 grit folded wet and dry sand paper through the points with them closed. After that run some paper through to clean any grit left behind. Then snap then shut by pulling the movable point out with your finger and letting go. That will remove any remaining grit.
