Gamefisher/Sears 217-585241 3.5

I acquired a 1979 Gamefisher 3.5 model 218-585241 this week. I was told it ran a year ago. Tank was empty, I cleaned the carb, and replaced the plug. I am not getting spark. Does anyone know a source for OEM points or compatible replacements? The condenser is marked 30548-B. Also, this model appears to be air cooled, although it has intake ports?

Ohm test the condenser and clean the points. But you can get both at Napa if you need them. It has a water pump on the 3.5hp to cool the exhaust gases and leg. That has a Tecumseh AV-520 power head I believe. Points set at .020.

I found the parts, when I search out this motor, it looks like there is no impeller? Any idea what type oil to fill the lower?

I just checked a chart I have and it says no impellor but the manual said all motors bigger than 3 do. I restored a 4hp and it had one. I use synthetic 80w in the foot. Walmart has it.
