Yes, points and condensers can and do go bad, together and seperately. Do you have the points gapped properly @ .016?
Fuel, air, and spark are the main three things you need to get running. Compression can be iffy, and you can still get it running with fuel, air, and spark. What color spark? The color of your spark can tell you the quality of your spark. Blue spark is good, any other color, like yellow or orange is bad. Do you have a battery in this motorcycle as well, or are you just trying to use the kick-start? Do you still have the factory oil injection tank and lines on the bike, or are you mixing the fuel/oil ratios correctly?
