We used the points in the magneto or stator-with the external coil when the coils failed. Beaware of the ballast resistor, and the full 12v for starting only then it runs off the resistor. There’s a extra wire we run from the solenoid to the coil. If it’s not correct the points will burn.
Personally I like magnetos there rock solid dependable when there right. I worked on wico, to Fairbanks mags to older Edison mags. I brought the dead back to life.
Inside the mag there’s a drum that has a spring wind up. A lever comes out to let the spring wind up on the drum then it snaps free to create more wattage when starting. Make sure the wind up lever is free. Most of the problems I seen with this setup the lever is stuck. Check to see if your magneto has this design.
