Thats the beauty of a stock Kettering (points) ignition system, if something is wrong you can usually see it and use plain old common sense and mechanical knowhow and fix it.

And what I really like about points ignitions, is that run just as good as electronic ignitions if well maintained. This goes for magnetos as well.
