Ignition points, under the flywheel typically. I would assume the engine has spark issues.

There are a couple of FAQs that discuss how this is done on the CCWs.

You need to remove the recoil starter. You should have holes in the flywheel through which you can clean and adjust the points. The flywheel must be removed to replace the points.

I'm no expert on Cats, I'm just talking generalities here.
