Hello, I'm having issues with spark on my motor. I only have spark on one cylinder about 95% of the time. The other one cuts in and out. I've cleaned and checked/adjusted the gap on the points multiple times with little to no success, cleaned ground connections and what not for condensers and coils. Only thing that seemed to help was swapping the coils around and it ran good on both cylinders for about 15 min. The missing cylinder did change after that happened but i'm not sure if that's coincidence or part of the issue. Wondering if anyone knows the proper dwell setting for the points and where i can order up some new ones. I have condensers on the way but can't seem to find the points. If anyone knows of any points off a different motor that would fit, or possibilities of switching to a different ignition system that would be great. Thanks for your time in advance.

You can try Valley Sales in Prudenville, Mi. or Franz Marine for the points??
No dwell just set at 20d. or what ever the flywheel markings indicate.
​You test continuity on the points?
