Tuyrn it till the popints are closed and just push them open iwth you finger or a screw driver and let the points clamp down on a clean piece of paper and then pull the paper out...I normally repeat that process a couple of times. Printer paper works well others use a dollar bill.

Did you clean the new points? They have a film on them for storage that has to be removed.

Lacquer thinner or brake cleaner works well. With the points closed and switch on, pry the points open with a screwdriver and let them snap shut a few times. You should see a spark (low voltage) at the points and with the coil wire near a ground there should be a nice blue high voltage spark!
