I got it ironed out. Turns out the original owner didn't put the timing mark on the right spot (I'm assuming since I set the gap at .016 and now it runs great.) I also tightened the point adjusting screw as tight as I could get it and put a drop of locktight on it. No more problems with points slipping out of adjutment.

Tried to crank it this weekend and it wouldn't start again. Checked the gas. Saw some in the bottom of the tank and thought it was the points again. Turns out it didn't have enough gas in the tank to flow into the line.
