well maybe but carbon looks like it broke off ? two things did happen first was the cocked cap . funny the burn track is the same side as the rotor cut . burn mark may happen when the contack was missing open up the gap.then you had a arc welder in the cap as juice is not going to want to run threw the wires to fire plugs very good . it ran fine before this ?...... photo of old rotor would help .... if no resistor in line to drop the 12 volts frys the points in the mallorys points will not take it full time . i had a YL many years ago changed many points before i learned that resistor was bad and 12volts full time did not make them happy. that was 30years ago start at the ign side of switch track every thing down check with volt meter . try another coil . new point. condenser .new rotor . make sure cap is seated .air gap is righ on points i think .016to 018 gets close . plug gap is right 0.35. it should run fine
