"The coil is outside the the engine, yes? Connect a test light to the wire that from the points to the coil. Disconnect the wire at the coil, and insert a test light. It should blink when you spin the engine. If not, your not getting power to the points, or they are not opening/closing. "
There are a couple windows in the flywheel. Rotating the engine by hand I can see the points open and close.
Coil is outside the engine. I connected a 6V test light between the black wire from the stator and the yellow wire on the coil. Spun the motor. Nothing.
Connected a DVM in place of the test light, set on VAC. Got 8.9 mV at max drill speed, spark plug removed from head. Not sure if that's enough to charge the condenser.
