thanks for the reply
1.Clean the points with emery paper
yep done that 2.Clean the flywheel magnets with emergy
done 3.Clean the earth contacts (where the 'E' plate sits on the engine)
ill try that but it's pretty darn clean in there
Then check what the spark is like with a new plug.
The cost of points & condensor would be about $14 max and the coil would be about $30+.
