Contacts on the points may be pitted or dirty, needs good clean metal to metal contact to transmit electrical charge. If the condenser is still good then you will get spark but they are getting very old by now,may need a new one .

Use an ohm meter to check if the pionts are grounded all the time. Also check the points for corrosion preventing the contacts from touching. The contacts have to touch together and open every turn of the flywheel. Probly the points. If all checks are good look at the coil.
Beat me to it pioneerguy . lol

That saw looks even better on this page!
She’ll clean up really nice. Get some better pics when I have some time to dig into it. This work thing gets in the way of shop time lately.

Weather is great here for a day , still 64 degrees was 74 today. Snow this weekend . Tuned a couple saws and cut a little. Did the spring oil/filters change on Frankensplitter. Shes a mix of available pieces. Electric start 14 hp garden tractor motor , grain auger axel with vintage tires , I beam and some hydro parts off stuff at the junkyard . Split just enough wood to call it ready.
Had a lot of fun building wood splitters from assorted cast off parts, was lucky to have an excavation business close by that was constantly junking older machines that had worn out drive and carriage parts but the hydraulics were salvageable.Had the most fun scrounging up the parts and sorting them into a semblance of order to make a functioning machine.
I was just going to ask about the foam wraps. I’ve onky seen the rubber wraps, came across a foam wrap last night and was wondering what the story was on them ?
Like so. This is a foam wrap. NOS.
What is that Part #, it hard to see? l am mostly familier with the rubber on the pioneers

Have you redone the rubber on a wrap before?
l personally have not used my pieces of rubber wrap to restore a handle bar yet. Ex-employee told me the process used to expand the rubber and then just slide it on. lt must shrink to get a tight fit.

Would like to see a video of someone putting one on using an air nozzle. Have read about it in several places as a common method.
When I instal grips on bike handlebars I use air. Works wonders. Not sure how to use the air on these tho
