I bought two of the Novas on eBay. Hope to learn from your success.
But it will be a while before I get to that stage.
Let us know how you set the timing.
Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right,
There's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

Reese ,

Did you install the cam and spring before you put the flywheel back on ?
I see the spring still on the shaft in that last pic .

Pd the answer would be no that spring and points cam are not on my motor any longer.  There is a spring there but a new spring to keep the bearing in place. Just got it somewhat back together walked it to the frame. Three bolts and a fuel line later with a dozen or so kicks and She lives again. Now to wait to Sunday to finish putting her back together. I would stay today and do it but I've got a hot date with the wife I need to clean up for. Huba huba.   ;D

That's the part I was wondering about : keeping things where they should be .

A late Valentine's ... Have fun .  My wife bought home a box of chocolates . ;)

Testing a capacitor is actually a two step procedure .
Here's a short video to help explain :
