What is the breaker point gap ?------Is the stop button in place and working properly ?.-----I believe the stop circuit is " open " to stop spark on those.

Stop button ? I have not seen one .read somewhere it was choke to stop. I have not checked the gap yet was going to wait and see if someone pointed out something obiovious. Also is that paint on magnets ok?

?---Paint does not interfere with magnetic flux.

Hello all I now have spark in my 1973 model 40 4hp turns out it was the spark wire connections . Enough spark to sit a 240# man down . So now compression is good. spark hurts like hell. Thank you experts for all your input. case closed .
