Hello everyone.

In addition I found that my points weren't opening. So I got a new set because the old ones were pretty worn out. Looking at the cap, rotor, coil, and spark plugs are next. Probably going to do a compression test too, to insure I didn't do any damage to the cylinders with all that gas in the oil.
I'll keep you all posted as I stumble through this new adventure. Any advice on the do's and don'ts would be greatly appreciated.
I can't wait to get this thing running properly again.

What do you mean when you say that the points weren't opening ? They need to open now and then for the motor to run.

Come to think of it, while you noticed that the points were not opening, did you think of looking at the rotor and cap while in there ?
