Walter,
You need to stick to design specs for the ignition system. Timing and points opening are critical in that the flywheel must be generating current at the time the points open or there will be no magnetic flux energy to interupt to create the high tension voltage.
Point cleanliness is very important, and you might check that the condenser is not faulty (check with a multimeter set on ohms - should show an initial low reading rising steadily, possibly to several mega-ohms).
These systems are simple, but can be a headache to get them working - like points shorting to earth when open, or screw connections shorting inside the flywheel, but only at that important fraction of a turn when you want that spark!
Hang in there, it WILL work!!
Regards, RAB
