Is there anything on points, like oil or grease?

New plugs? Does the kohler have both the generating coil under the flywheel and the externally mounted primary coils? Did you replace those too?

Not sure why, but stared at it for awhile, said a few choice words, tried it again, and we have spark. My dad bought this sled new and i have never heard it run this good in my life time. thanks for the help!!
