Weclome aboard, are you from Harrisburg Pa.? You really should buy a service manual for your sled, they are still available as a reprint from JD. Clymers had a manual that shows up on Ebay.
Since your engine has points, did you clean and regap both sets, there are 2.
Future posts like this one should be in the tech section, Kioritz/CCW.

Go here: http://www.jdsleds.com/community/viewto ... ?f=4&t=162

That's where we need to start you. Once you have read that, it gives us a place to start.

The most often seen problem is points that have corroded, and no longer pass current.

These sleds are so old now, you really need to go completely through the fuel and electrical systems in order to make them run reliably.

Have fun!
