I got back to work on the ignition over the week. I cleaned the points and set them to .010 with feeler gauges, for each lobe on the shaft. I attached an image of the points.
I also checked the carb jets again just to be sure. While I was at it I pulled the plug above where the needle valve sits to check the 3 pin holes opening into the cab throat.. All clean and clear.
Figured I would check the HT leads from the distributor cap while I was at it. Turns out they were glued in as well as threaded so I damaged the leads removing them. I'll have to get new ones but I likely needed them anyway. The connection in the cap is not damaged and they cleaned up really nice.
I am hoping the new leads and points settings, with the recommended spark plugs, will will get the old girl running.
