That engine has dual points and condensers. Probably a good place to start your troubleshooting.

If I remember right, you have a CD( Capacitor Discharge) ignition with a Hall effect sensor for timing, I paid $350 for one of those back in 1977, lotsa luck ,maybe E-bay.

Sorry, no condenser, but yes on the dual points- according to the factory parts list.... Only the 125 had the sensor that year.
