Possible, but;

You may need a more powerful battery or better connections. What are you using? Try connecting a second battery in parallel to the starting battery for a test.

You will want to clean all of the ignition wiring connections, especially the ones on the coils.

Battery cables corrode inside of the insulation. Feel the battery connection after trying to start. If the connections are hot, the cables are probably bad.

Do you have a tachometer to see what revolutions [rpm] are when trying to start?

Have you checked the flywheel magnets? Are they tight?

Edit: If the wiring has been checked and the voltage is still less than 130 volts, the next check is the resistance test, which would tell whether or not the charge coils on the stator are bad.
